I had booked myself a nice leisurely bus ride at the very civilised time of 10am this morning so I didn't have to rush around early in the morning. I got up at about 8am and packed up my bag and actually sorted through my stuff and left a fair bit in the apartment. I departed with a half full backpack. Much easier to carry. I walked myself along the waterfront and down to the bus station, where I had my breakfast pizza while I waited for the bus to turn up....

I live here. I manage a massive sleep in this morning, getting up at 11am, because I know this is the only time I am going to have for a long time and it's the only time I've had in a long time. I've just worked basically six weeks without a break. After my sleep in I get up and the first thing I do is go to my window, open it and look out at the red roof tops and the view of the Adriatic.

First full day in Croatia, my first order of business was to go down to Paradiso and leave a key with Igor for one of the other reps that is coming to join me in the apartment.

As soon as I was in my seat I fell asleep. Yes, I think the novelty of flying has definitel...

Last day of the tour, one of the best in my career and how did I have to spend it? Trapped in my room because I had now collected all the passport and didn't want to either leave them in the room or risk a metro trip with them all. Luckily I did manage to give most of them back at breakfast so I was able to go out quickly to get some lunch and to book the restaurant. I booked dinner for 7pm and meet the group in the lobby of the hotel. I walked them over the...
