Greece was such a change from Albania, as soon as we got in, there were mountains and forests, the roads were better, but it was still hot! I think anyone that thinks of Greece thinks of all the ruins to look at, and we were no different. As has happened often on this trip though, the first place we stopped at was purely by accident, we hadn't read anything about it or been told about it, we headed there because there was a camp ground there, the place was Kala...

So we checked the Internet to see if there was anything for us to see in Zagreb and then decided to head down the coast towards Zadar, but our research had shown there was a caravan park in Starigrad called "Camp Michael". How could we not stay there?! As we headed down the coast we were not too thrilled with what we could see, the mountains to o...
