Change in Plans – 20th September 2022

September 22, 2022

For some dumb reason Di was up and on the back deck doing the blog for yesterday at 6.30am which was the time we headed out of Hvar harbour. Another beautiful day in paradise. Not sure why, but our itinerary has changed Tuesday port to Thursday and vice versa. No biggie as we have no … More Change in Plans – 20th September 2022

Hvar – 19th September 2022

September 21, 2022

First order of the day was a scrumptious breakfast with all the trimmings. This was followed up by a very short cruise of two hours to then drop anchor just outside the port of Hvar. There was to be no room for us in the port of Hvar until the last commercial ferry left at … More Hvar – 19th September 2022

A holiday within a holiday – 18th September 2022

September 21, 2022

Just under two weeks now until we return to real life and we had planned to go out with  a bang.  We have been wanting to do an Adriatic cruise off the coast of Croatia for a few years now but with covid and other commitments it was not able to be done until now. … More A holiday within a holiday – 18th September 2022

More Split – 17th September 2022

September 20, 2022

Relaxing start to the day as we didn’t have any great plans on the agenda. We did have some washing to drop off, so on the way we went via the local fruit and vegie market to pick up some fruit for the day. Lots of variety and very fresh. We were drooling over all … More More Split – 17th September 2022

Road to Split – 16th September 2022

September 19, 2022

It was decided to leave by 8.00am as we had a long way to drive back to the Split airport to drop off the car. We should give the car a bit of a wrap as it never missed a beat and very economical on petrol. It was a Peugeot 208. We were looking forward … More Road to Split – 16th September 2022

Day 2 – Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 15th September 2022

September 18, 2022

We certainly felt a lot more comfortable making our way around the park today as it does take a bit to find how the system does work. It has overtones of the soviet era way of doing things. By this we can best describe by making a sandwich eg: one person to take the bread … More Day 2 – Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 15th September 2022

Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 14th September 2022

September 17, 2022

Very nice digs we are holed up in for three nights. We especially like it because of this absolutely Di and Fras friendly remote control – the KISS Version 101 – Keep it Simple, Stupid. So, we have set up camp in the Plitvice National Park which is one of the oldest and largest national … More Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 14th September 2022

Croatia Bound – 13th September 2022

September 16, 2022

It is a day of travel so not a lot to write about so we thought we might fill in a bit of space with some totally useless information about the Piccadilly Line which we have lived on for the last ten days and spent our retirement funds using. We have highlighted where Karen and … More Croatia Bound – 13th September 2022

City of London – 12th September 2022

September 15, 2022

Another big day of touring today. Our tour guide Karen, has done an amazing job of getting us around as well as booking all our activities and scheduling them. We have done and seen a lot of stuff thanks to her masterful planning abilities. Today was no exception!!! First order of the day was to … More City of London – 12th September 2022

Very Bad Planning – 11th September 2022

September 13, 2022

Our plan for today was to catch the tube into Piccadilly and then walk to Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and up the Mall to Buckingham Palace and maybe see the floral tributes to the Queen on our way to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. We knew from yesterday on our way to … More Very Bad Planning – 11th September 2022
