Along the Adriatic Highway

Along the Adriatic Highway

Šibenik, Primošten, Trogir, Dalmatian Coast In between our numerous trips inland to the Krka National Park, we have been touring the Dalmatian coastline. And what a coastline it is. I have rarely seen a more picturesque location for a bus stop. I don’t think I would get very far in this part of the world if I had to rely on public transport. I’d be far too distracted by those incredible views to remember to keep an eye out for…

It is a country full of surprises, full of hidden treasures. Lots of things…

A first for me today: I went on a bike ride! Her Ladyship made a song and dance about the fact that she managed a 30km ride after having been unable to cycle for the past year. Silly twit fell off the bike and banged up her knee apparently. God, you’d think she’d just climbed Mount Everest or something. She should try flying sometime! Anyway, she took me along for the ride – Vsar to Porec, along the coast. The…
