For clarity, a Mini Break is when we leave the caravan at a campsite and travel in the Poacher with luggage staying overnight somewhere else. I thought we were going to set off early for our trip to Lake Skadar last Thursday (27th May), as I am used to Steve’s early starts to get the […]

Sticks and Snakes to the Rock
Following Sunday night’s mixed fish BBQ thrown by us celebrating Steve’s catch, 6am the next morning (Monday 24th) Steve and John went fishing with their rods, heavy weights and heavy heads in a tiny boat driven by Nebojša, the guy who ferries guests past our terrace to and from the expensive fish restaurant Catovica Mlini.

When messaging with Captain Ivan on what time we should be collected to go fishing, not being a morning person especially on a Sunday, I suggested 10 or 11am. Apparently, fishing is best during the first hours of sunrise, so we agreed on a 7am start. Steve and I set the alarms on our mobiles […]

Read MoreLeaving Croatia – but we’ll be back
Last night we walked round to the little booth units we could see across from our beach as we hadn’t been there so far. Originally I thought they were all little bars, but they turned out to be fast (and slow) food outlets and a few shops, which Steve already knew from one of his […]

Goodbye Camp Stobreč After six wonderful weeks in Croatia, leaving the caravan at camp and touring in the Poacher, seeing all of our must see tourist attractions, except a few islands (which we’ll hopefully explore on our way back) it is time to deflate Teddy our boat, pack up and move on to Montenegro. As […]

Eight years ago, Steve and I met through our friends Cheryl and Peter.

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 […]
