Sunshine and two icecreams a day

So I think that tonight will be our last night in Croatia. We are in a resorty town called Makarska, somewhere between Split and Dubrovnik. We were going to spend another night in Dubrovnik and maybe go out on a boat excursion but due to some miscalculation of the current date, we managed to book our ferry a day too early. Oh well, it just means that we'll be getting to Greece a day earlier.



We camped out again last night on the island of Murter. It was scorching hot and Gem even managed to get me to go out for a swim (that's no easy task). However we could see some dark clouds chasing us from the north and could hear the thunder rolling in as well. This was a pretty flash camping ground so we decided that we would have dinner in their restaurant rather than try to cook up a storm in the rain. We decided to have dinner inside rather than pick a table on the terrace. We made the right decision as everyone outside got rained upon and rushed inside not long after we sat down. Fortunately the clouds quickly moved on and the good weather returned. This is more like it! For dinner we ordered a fish platter (since we are right by the sea) which came out with two fat fish, giant prawns, mussels and squid. I still find seafood lots of work to eat but it was definitely tasty.

Today we drove on to Split in the scorching heat. It was really just too hot to do much touristing and we had a look around the old town and had some icecream before moving on. We're staying in a proper room tonight since we thought it would be a good idea to get a proper nights sleep before we catch the night ferry tomorrow. We've just got deck seats on the ferry so I'm not sure how well we'll sleep. If it turns out to be terrible we'll make sure we get a cabin on the ferry to Greece.

So bye for now, we're just going down to the beachside to have dinner. This is the life :)


PS: We watched the sunset by the beach as we ate our pizzas. It was absolutely beautiful. Had a nice walk around the tourist shops and restaurants along the waterside. Simply a lovely evening. Definitely the life :)
