Croatia

Dubrovnik
Cruise ship central. Impressive fortifications and architecture of the old town. A complete circuit of the city walls. First swim in the crystal clear Adriatic. A day trip to Lokrum Island, Fort ruins, a monastery, mating peacocks, swimming and another high plunge.

Hvar Island
Dino the man the legend and his incredible apartment. Plenty of beers on the balcony looking down on a setting sun over the town. Idling the day away in our 5 horse power boat. Navigating the crystal clear Adriatic waters of the Pakheri Islands. Backward flip competitions, seafood, ice cream and plenty of swimming.

Split
Wandering Diocletians Palace an eclectic mix of Roman ruins, apartments and bars. One final swim with the locals.

Zagreb
Confusion over tram stops resulting in a two hour mission to find the Hostel. Evening walk through the Austro Hungarian arcitecture. City views up Golton Hill and a great fight on the way home.
