This is our first visit to Croatia and so far so good. The sun is shining, as per the guarantee to Mo, and the expected high today is 27 degrees. After posting yesterday’s update, we ate at the campsite restaurant. It’s called Nando which is no relation to the Nandos we know in Blighty. In particular, I’m sure I read somewhere that the Croatians are rather fond of their meat and fish. However, proper meat like beef and pork – not chicken which is perceived somewhat down market. I didn’t spot any chicken on this menu.

I did however spot a Peppersteak and it was excellent. I’ve had many a good steak but this one was right up there with the best. A huge slab of meat, tender and cooked to perfection.

 

 

 

 

So, we know that Croatians like their food and it’s proper food. They also seem a very friendly bunch, with a perfect grasp of the English language, which is just as well. The roads we’ve been on so far have been good quality and the tolls relatively inexpensive.

How about the facilities at Polidor.

On arriving at Polidor, we didn’t have an enormous selection of pitches, about half a dozen were available for a 2 week stay. We chose one behind the toilet block and proceeded to manoeuvre the caravan crossways to take full advantage of the afternoon sun.

 

With no room to spare we concluded the pitch is 7.5m wide. There’s room for our Sunshine Awning and we can just park the car too so that probably makes about 9m of usable depth. For now though the car is abandoned on a vacant lot.

Mo was the first to use the facilities and remarked they were average at best. Oh no, a moaning Mo for the next few weeks until we head out from Croatia.

Mind you, the joke was on me. These are the best facilities we have encountered. Better than Camping Prumtal – well, that’s a difficult call – but on reflection, we both agree that the standards are marginally higher, here at Polidor.

If there’s any criticism, the site appears slightly cramped and bigger pitches would indeed be nicer. Trouble is we have nothing to compare against in Croatia, save from seeing pitches at a distance on Bijela Uvala and those appeared similar to here.

There are lots of nice touches, such as the bicycle service point.

 

 

 

 

Oh, and if I didn’t mention it already all 75 pitches are hard standing and fully serviced with un-metered electricity, fresh water and grey waste. Shame our waste pipes don’t reach.

 

 

 

 

I’m also lead to believe we have the ACSI pricing of 17 Euros per night.
