Cheryl and I did the right thing and got up when the porters knocked on the door. We were showered and ready to go. So, I thought I would rock up and see how the Allen's were going. After knocking on the door, a very weary Dianne answers it to say, "what are you doing up so early?" On that note, we realised there was not a lot going on in this end of the world, so off we went to find a cup of coffee. The ferry was still coming into the Port of Zadah. Cheryl ...

Today was the day. Our 2 weeks on the high seas is coming to an end. This morning we are returning to Split, to hand our beautiful old girl ATOLA in. She has been so grand. We have had so much enjoyment, and now it is coming to an end. The day started off quite leisurely, we had breakfast at the marina quite early. Finally it was time to leave. The B Crew was also leaving this morning, but they were only travelling to Trogir to return their vessel, so the journ...

Today was exercise day. Dianne and Brian had offered to take us out to see the world famous falls in the National Park oh the KRKA river. It is only about 5 km's out of town, so cycling out there seemed the natural way to do it. We all had a bit of a sleep in, and then eventually made our way to breakfast at the café in the marina. I met up with Pete, Roz and Jo, who were already there, and Brian Cheryl and Di arrived sometime later. (not the best morning ...

We decided to get out of bed reasonably early this morning, to prepare for our trip to Drvenik. (Diane remembers the names of places by what she eats. On her last trip she had octopus salad at this little island, hence we're off to Octopus Salad. Glad Captain Cook did not use this method, we might have been called Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding instead of Australia.) The morning was quite steamy but very overcast. I was sitting on the toilet, enjoying the pea...
