Saturday 15th June
This morning was a little cooler and some light high
cloud which was a welcome relief from the heat of yesterday afternoon when it
got pretty sticky with humidity.
We set off from Senj and selected the scenic coast
road, rather than the faster motorway.
Heading south on the E65 it was a road of twists and
turns following the rocky coast with the beautiful Adriatic Sea to out right and
Croatian countryside to the left.
It must be said that the motor bikers that use this
road are completely crazy. Two or three nearly came to grief overtaking in
inappropriate places.
We arrived at a little village called Starigrad with
a list of a few campsites to look over and select one. If none took our fancy
we`d carry on towards Zadar.
The first one we stopped had a friendly receptionist
who took me down to the sea front and showed me two pitches, right by the
waters edge, she had me hooked immediately.
Most of the campsites in Croatia
We had a bad experience last year when an
unidentified bird with a severe case of diarrhea, decided to use us for target
practice resulting in an unholy mess.
We were a little wary, but no need, it`s a lovely
place, a perfect location, five yards to the sea, so that`ll do me nicely.
Probably inflate the kayak tomorrow and go for a
paddle.
Not much else to report, we`ll probably stay here a
couple of nights then go into Zadar and see what`s there, then who know, we`ll
see what we feel like doing then.
But it`ll probably be going onto Pag, a stick of land
pointing north parallel with the mainland.
