Blue, blue Adriatic Sea


We left Scotland, reluctantly and travelled with Adam and Eva to Croatia. You have to love Ryan Air with their .01p flights. We arrived in Zadar after following the beautiful coastline. It would have to be one of the nicest approaches to a country. Through customs and off to our accommodation in a villa that we had prebooked. The host was very friendly and helpful and after we had settled in drove us to a restaurant where we ate croatian style pizzas. Next day we explored the old town of Zadar and then travelled on to Split by bus. The road was very scenic, it was a 3 hour trip, but passed very quickly. The road followed the coast and we sighted many small villages and towering cliffs and lovely little bays. The seas must be the bluest that you are likely to see anywhere. The buildings are mainly white with red or orange tiles. Beautiful. There are still Roman ruins in Split and many cafes abound. We walked many kilometres and rested with nice coffee. Europeans love their ice cream and we have had some great flavours.
