Arriving back to the apartment yesterday afternoon somewhat tired after our hike across only part of the Ston Wall (I expect you won’t be surprised to hear in normal times they hold marathons across them) we were delighted to wake up this morning without aching limbs.  As we got ourselves together for today’s trip to […]

This is a map of Ston to the North and Mali Stone to the South, with ‘x’ marking where we are staying. You can spot the Bota Sare Restaurant where we were last night (barely a two minute walk from the apartment) and see that the main round goes around the Tower to Ston. Both […]

After six months from leaving the UK to go on our travels, we’ve decided it’s time for a holiday. We are therefore making the most of our few days on Pelješki as we seem to be having so much fun on this trip currently staying at Mali Ston in an amazing large, comfortable ground floor […]

As you probably know, with Brexit we are only allowed 90 days in Schengen out of 180 which means we can be in Schengen for 90 days and then have to be out of Schengen for the next 90 days before we can enter again for the next 90 out of 180. That’s the reason […]

I paid about as much attention to Steve telling me about Omis as he pays me when I call out a check list in advance of a trip or shopping expedition.  I heard ‘National Park’ and ‘Bird Watching’.  That was all. so I packed a bikini, sun tan lotion, books, made sure my phone was […]

Quite a few must see tourist attractions around Split do not seem to be well publicised, so we were delighted to discover there is a HUGE Roman archaeological site called Salona, near Solin, just outside of Split and it was well worth visiting. Reading more, we discovered not only was Salona one of the largest […]

We decided to leave the car behind, get a taxi to Split Ferry Port and, for the first time, be foot passengers . We would take the Ferry to Stari Grad, walk around the Stari Grad Plain and Roman Ruins. We’ve read that art treasures, a mild climate, good beaches and fields of scented lavender […]

Trogir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known by some as the Little Venice of Dalmatia or The Stone Beauty.  The islet of Trogir, just 500m long and 250m wide, lies in a narrow sea passage between the mainland and Čiovo. SEXIST Warning:  Do not read without compassion or sense of humour! When I get […]

On Monday start to the week, we had some errands to run, including a search for a gas supplier to refill or replace some of our butane and propane cannisters.  Can you believe, it is different fittings and cannisters for each country in Europe and the UK?  Many people from the UK set off feeling […]

We found about this place through one of the groundsmen on our campsite who Steve bumps into when he takes Stella for her morning constitutional.  The chap (yet to find out his name) and Steve discuss the local birds, wildlife and Steve was delighted to return to the caravan and tell me over breakfast how […]
