(written by Dave) First up, last night Italy won on penalties in Euro 2012.  I was too tired to stay up and watch.  I’m glad I didn’t as it had to go late with extra time and the penalty shootout.  I’m sure that Ross and the boys are happy, but all our friends in the … Continue reading Last day on the Adriatic –Cres Town to Preluk (62/17,497ks, 950m)

(written by Dave) Our Rab Island mega-campground was surprisingly quiet overnight.  I guess all those sunseekers get knackered sitting around baking all day.  They don’t appear to sleep late either as this morning even though we were left before 8AM, many of the prime baking locations had towels spread out.  There were no people on … Continue reading Two Ferries and a Sobe –Rab Town to Cres Town (30/17,435ks, 520m)

(written by Nancy) This will be a quick post, as we are semi-stealing power from a plug in the campground and would like to get off of it before anyone official notices.  Actually, we’re not really sure if we are being charged for power or not so that will be our excuse if the camp … Continue reading Surrounded by sunseekers – Sibuljina to Rab Town (82/17,405ks, 850m*)

(written by Nancy) We finally dragged ourselves out of Zadar today, well rested from our 2 days off.  We have changed our plans multiple times over the last few days, but finally decided we would head up the eastern side of the Veiebitski Canal (that bit of the Adriatic Sea that goes north into Croatia) … Continue reading 22 June 2012 – Camping on the sea – Zadar to Sibuljina (57/17,323ks, 410m)

(written by Dave) We like Zadar.  At the risk of once again sounding like tourist bureau employees for another country, we really like Zadar a lot.  As Nancy mentioned last night, there is a great mix of old and new.  Our guide book describes Zadar as an “underrated tourist destination”.  You can see how this … Continue reading We love Zadar

(written by Nancy) Well, condolences to Croatia for the loss last night to Spain, which puts them out of the Euro 2012 tournament.  A late goal by Spain in the 87th minute – we could hear the roars outside our apartment and soon after some red flares started going up in a little café/bar around … Continue reading Up the Croatian coast we go – Sibenik to Zadar (77/17,266ks, 390m)

(written by Dave) Folks outside Europe may not know it but the Euro 2012 football (soccer) tournament is on right now.  Croatia is one of the 16 teams to make the tournament and they are playing for their survival right now against world number one Spain.  This is the last game of the pool matches … Continue reading Euro 2012 fever from Split to Sibenik (97/17,189ks, 620m)

(written by Nancy) First thing, before I forget, I promised Dave that I would confirm in writing that he is my internet boy as he actually got the internet tethering on the iphone to work last night, despite an email from VIP customer service that said it couldn’t be used on a prepaid sim.  Hopefully … Continue reading Back to the mainland in Split (48/17,097k 675m)

(written by Dave) Today we rode the Peljesac Peninsula from Prapratno to Orebic, then took the ferry across to Korcula Island.  It was a pretty hard ride with lots of climbing and descending, and very little flat.  We were distracted for the first half of the ride by terrace upon terrace of grape vines.  The … Continue reading Prapratno to Korcula (68/17,044ks, 1,100m)
