Trogir today gone tomorrow!

I will take advantage of our current wifi status and get another post out.

To recap where we have been, we started in Dubrovnik, a gorgeous ancient walled city.

We walked the walls, in approx 2 hours, the views are spectacular!

Then we caught the cable car up to the top of the mountain directly behind the town. Note all the roofs are quite bright and new, this is the result of the war with bosnia and Montenegro.

Next we moved along the coast and visited Ston on our way to makarska.

 

It was a bit showery, but the weather is as unpredictable as the beauty of this country, we bought local strawberries in Sto 15 kuna about $3.so sweet and delish.

All the town, the old ones at least have walls most dating back to around the 6th & 7th c AD.

After leaving Ston we ventured to Makarska. This is one of the towns that is a gateway to the islands. From here we went by car ferry out to Korcula.

 

The next island visited was Brac,where the 6th best beach in the world is Zlatni Rat at Bol.

Back to the mainland and off to Brella, one of the favorites so far. This picture can be purchased all over Croatia, as it's a sort of symbol.

This one not so much but it shows what you get when you ask for 3 scoops of ice cream! Greg protested profusely but devoured it!

Onward along the coast to the second largest town in Croatia - Split! Great markets with some things similar to Bali but others like the lovely linen dress that I bought. We found a quaint sobe to stay in right in the centre of everything with somewhere to park the car, it's down this little lane way.

We sat up here in konobo nuttrello eating pizza and drinking beer

This is inside the Diocletian Palace which is now all shops and markets except for the cathedral, museum and baptristy. The palace was built with the same stone as was used for the white house in Washington!

We caught another car ferry, this time out to Hvar. This is the party island as mentioned earlier.while we were driving around we found some out of the way places to sit and ponder, then decided on a short cut to Hvar town to look for somewhere to stay. The short cut was interesting to say the least and at points terrifying!

 

Yes, that is a sheer drop and when you meet someone coming the other way something or someone has to give. The first vehicle actually got past us, it was a medium sized RV. The second one, the red truck actually reversed about 200 meters to find a wider part of the road.

Then we found a spot to de-stress for a while.

We got accosted by an 80 yr old woman wanting us to stay in here sobe, so we obliged and hit the beach.

Hvar town is another walled city, this one had a second fortress built on top of the hill by Napoleon., however the pictures here are from the older one just above the town.

 

So now here we are in Trogir, awoken by the numerous church and town bells that seem to be constantly tolling, I'm sitting in bed it's not quite 8am, Greg snoring beside me ( so if any of my facts are wrong he will need to correct them later) we are both a bit sunburnt from lying on the beach yesterday , and looking out the window It's looking like another fabulous day in this paradise called Croatia!

Stay tuned.....................😃 oh ding dong ding dong !
