Eurotrip 6, 2017 – South to Nin…

Standard

Another relaxing day today, preceded by a visit to the Pharmacy for some mosquito repellent. The mosquitos are out in force here at Autocamp Peros and our supplies of Deet are taking a bit of a hit.

Dalmacija Campsite, next to the sea…

Later in the afternoon we cycled to Privlaka further along the coast from Zaton. We discovered a campsite nestled by the sea, Dalmacija Camping, and this would be worthy of consideration should we return to this area.

That sinking feeling, Pravlaka…

The evening was another BBQ, Joe sporting the latest in anti-mosquito technology!

 

 

 

Sunday we finished setting up at Autocamp Peros and later walked into Nin. Nin’s historical centre is located on an islet of just 500 meters in diameter.

Ancient gate at Nin…

Nin is situated in a lagoon, surrounded by natural sandy beaches and linked with the mainland by two stone bridges from the 16th century.

Nin, Roman Temple…

Roman Temple at Nin. We figure that some elements of the concrete column aren’t perhaps as authentic as they might be.

 

This whole area doesn’t quite seem as affluent as Istria and this is reflected at Camping Peros. The campsite is a small family run site with plenty of trees for shade. The pitches are all different in shape and size and although we had been pre-allocated a pitch, we swapped this and have a very large plot with almost a fully serviced pitch. I say almost because in this area of the campsite there is no grey waste, but there is a drain below the water feeds and that’s where we’ve attached our grey waste pipe.

The facilities are clean but fairly basic in comparison to other sites we have stayed at recently. I’ve yet to discover the best time of day for a warm shower! Still, this is our home for the next two weeks or so.

Saturday we drove from Porec to Nin, near Zadar. We took the motorway option all the way from close to Porec down to as far as Zadar. At around 246 miles, it was some 46 miles further than following the highly recommended scenic coastal highway which we didn’t think would be suitable for our outfit. The roads were generally quiet without any major delays.

Friday was another hot day with highs in the late 20s. An early start to pack everything up, ready for our departure on Saturday.
