Checking out this morning was done with the same informality as yesterday, no paperwork, €15 paid cash and bye-bye. We drive to Zadar and after a trip around the block we find parking on the waterfront, which is free on Sundays. A few yards down the road we enter through one of the old fortified gates into the pedestrianised area. Although there are similarities with Split, Trogir and the other towns, each has its own feel. Zadar is much more open, and...

It's an early rise this morning in anticipation of the arrival of 'motorhome repair man' who we understand will come between 08:00 and 08:30. At 09:00 Ali goes to reception to check. Apparently he'd tried to ring and left a message for a call back. A bit later someone asks Nick to go to reception where there is a message with makes and prices of tyres available, and that for safety he will only replace as a pair. Nick's choice is relayed to the garage and 3...

We are ready in good time to leave this absolutely superb campsite and continue north. The first part, to Split takes far less time than the bus the other day and soon we are the other side of the estuary on the way to Trogir. There is a large car park just before the town, only a 7-8 minute walk in. Trogir is an old and important port city built on its own island, now connected by short bridges. The interesting bit, within the medieval walls, contains ev...

This is such a lovely site we have opted to stay an extra day to relax and catch up on some jobs. Ali gets the bedding washed and NW borrows a ladder from reception to do a long overdue repair to Mary*Lou's roof. In the afternoon Nick catches up on internetty things while Ali goes to the site's hair dresser to get a trim to help her keep cooler. Later we wander around the bay to Stobrec village. It's a pretty walk past the beaches to a boat yard, then o...

The big storm cleared the air and it is a much cooler 24C today with a fresh breeze. We go to the bus stop at the site entrance to catch the 10:40 bus into Split, N+G are taking the bike in. The bus finally arrives at 11:05 and begins the 25 minute ride to Split Old Town. The suburbs of Split are not pretty; rundown tower blocks from the former socialist Yugoslavian regime, but soon we are off the bus outside the old walls with the port in front of us, complet...
