All day ferry ride back to Dubrovnik today. Spent most of it asleep in the sleeping quarters or munching on small goods cheese and fruit. Arrived in Dubrovnik and went to our accommodation. The guy running the place seems a bit strange, but harmless I hope. Terrific position though right next to the western gate of the town . The place is mobbed with all tourists like myself and it would seem that the locals know how to get a buck out of you. Prices are nea...

A busy day. After an amazing lunch on the island we raced for and caught the ferry back to split. It was difficult to leave because the wine was starting to flow and the atmosphere was good, but we had things to do. After a bit of wandering around the city we saw a midnight fireworks display to welcome in a new era in the history of Croatia....joining the EU. Feelings are mixed on the topic depending on who you are speaking to but everyone seems to have the...

Every morning started with loading her on the bike and riding to a beach for a dip in the clear blue Aegean Sea. Then back home for lunch and a nap.

Followed this up with a visit and shopping mission to the Green Market to buy some fresh produce for brunch. Some of the best tomatoes I have ever tasted,5 cured meat and cheese. Also fresh veggies. All tasted very good. Cherries and stone fruit are in sea...

Caught the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split today. Started with a bit of nonsense. Got told my ferry was leaving from three different locations. Eventually figured out where the right spot was and made it on the boat. We had a sleeper cabin which I passed out in without any trouble. When I was awake, the scenery outside was pretty nice cruising through the different islands. The boat made 4 stops before ours and continued on to the northernmost port in Croatia...
