Croatia


One thing we have found in Croatia is relatively slow internet and most do not allow access via USB ports, but at last we have found one will be able we hope to upload some pictures. We landed at Zadar and managed to taxi to our accommodation, which was right on the coast and from the balcony we could see the ocean. In the morning as we walked around Zadar we found that the water was incredibly clear and clean and there were plenty of fish. No fishing rods, bait or fridge to keep them in though. As we walked we could hear some haunting "music". Located right on the water front was the source of the music, seahorns, which made organ like noises with the action of the waves. Very impressive. There were also many Roman ruins. We travelled by bus to Split and what beautiful scenery. There were so many small coves and villages, each with their own marinas. And so many boats. We would love to know what they do with all of the old boats as these were all new and big. The buildings are all creamy white with orange terracotta tiles. It is all very uniform and picturesque. The land is very rocky and stony. Lots of walls made with grey stones everywhere
