We have stayed here today because we seem to have time.  This place is a bit odd.  It is clearly just a beach resort, but there are nature reserves you can go to on tourist boats.  We don’t think private boats are allowed.

We have found that in this part of Croatia most of the tourists are German.  German cars abound and all the locals speak German.  In fact there is not much English spoken here.  We have had some language difficulties because of that.

It has been cold and we have been putting layers on and taking them off all day.  I did some shopping.  I found a butcher and bought some meat.  I also bought a very expensive piece of cheese.  It cost over £10 for about 6 ounces.  It is a hard cows cheese with local black truffles.  We had a taste and it is very nice.

The big excitement was over our insurance.  We got an e-mail from the Cruising Association saying that the Italian authorities had raised the level of insurance they require boat owners to have for third party risks.  We are going to Italy in 2-3 days, so we must have our papers in order.  On looking at the policy it is clear that we are only covered for the old limits.  So we started e-mailing and phoning the insurers.  At first they didn’t seem to know anything about this.  But all was sorted out.  About a couple of hours after we rang they e-mailed us saying that they knew about the change and had amended their policy.  They sent us the new terms.  So we should be allowed into Italy after all!


Last stop in Croatia tomorrow.

  1. Richard, We had a note on a scrap of paper that it was your birthday about this time. If it is, we hope that you find a suitable way to celebrate. If it isn't, I have egg on my face again!
