Bog to Croatia!


We thought we would be leaving paradise behind us when we left Lucija, but it appears to be following us.  Croatia is beautiful even if very barren.





For the first time since reaching London our passports were glanced at when we crossed the Croatian border – no stamp though.
Croatia is greater developed than I expected, but still a very lovely country, the first day we found a great spot at one of many campsites just out of Novi Vinodolski.  It was so hot (over 33 degrees) that as soon as camp was set up we dived into the sea below us.





Today to avoid travelling in the most intense heat we left camp at 8.15am arriving at our current site in Privlaka around 12 noon.  After lunch and a walk about the small town we again had a long swim in the ocean – bliss.

Mildred’s fridge is struggling to cope in this heat, especially as we tend to be in and out of it more, so we have now decided to try buying our lunches/dinners to see if it has that much impact on the budget – it seems so cheap here even though the exchange rate from NZD to Kuna takes a bit of getting used to (roughly NZD $1 = $5 Kuna.

Here's Daryl relaxing with his Duff beer.
