We remembered our excitement at arriving in Croatia, a country neither of us had been to before, way back at the end of March. We stayed for six weeks at Camping Stobreč, the weather was cold, especially overnight and first thing, we slept under double duvets, everyone wore masks, we loved our excursions in bearable […]

The Day The Wind Fell Down
English really is an international Language From staying at the Campsite in Albania and here at Galeb in Croatia – Montenegro doesn’t count as Dušan spoke several languages, and nor do the previous ones as they were empty – I already knew that English is not just spoken for us Brits at campsite reception desks […]
Read MoreGeorge’s Catamaran to Brač
As soon as we had set up in Kamp Galeb, I sent George a WhatsApp to let him know that Steve and I were in Omis for a few days and we would love to take a trip on his catamaran to Brač. He responded almost immediately saying he remembered us well and that we […]

We reached the border of Croatia from Montenegro bang on 8:30am last Tuesday morning (a week ago – where does our time go?) and unbelievably we were the only vehicle going through so it was straight up to the Border Booth. Seeing so many beaches coming to life en route we couldn’t believe the lack […]

As […]

Eight years ago, Steve and I met through our friends Cheryl and Peter. Within ten days of having our first date dinner, with an important second bottle of wine (Steve will explain), a picnic at Goodwood where I brought along a bottle of white wine keeping it chilled in bubble wrap (Steve was overwhelmed with […]

Do you remember George, the boat owner who took us up the River Cetina when we visited Omis? When we were saying our good byes he said that he would drop off a bottle of his wine for us if we gave him the address of our campsite and our pitch number. We thought from […]
Read MoreEnd of the Holiday Holiday
If I was pleased yesterday when I woke up that I was without aching limbs from climbing just some of Ston Wall (albiet it hundreds and hundreds of steps), I was cock a hoop over the moon when I woke up this morning that I could still move after two days of essentially climbing thousands […]
