Hrvatska (Croatia) - Better than Greece

Wow.

Dalmation Coast might well be the prettiest place we've been to. Its got all the beauty of the Venetian archecture without the stench of Venice. It has the tranquil Med Island feel of Greece, without the 10000 Australians who've just been to the Anzac Day rave at Gallopoli and are now "looking for work" on Ios.

We have now seen 3 places on the Coast; Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is the pick for its extraordinary beauty and complete medievel wall. Hvar is the perfect island except for the lack of sand which again we found uncomfortable when the rocks jutted through our towels into our backs as we attempted to catch some rays. Split has Roman ruins converted into modern coffee houses which we enjoyed.

A special day trip planned for tomorrow sees us trekking to Montenegro for the day. Passports in hand we will see all the sites that we can in 12 hours. We are very much looking forward to that and will report later in the week on the scenery.

37 days to go - see you soon.

PS - Will respond to recent comments in our next internet session.
