Saturday is another chill day, waiting for our daughter Sue to arrive. We had to buy another tent as we’d left hers at home. We managed to pick one up at the Decathlon store which now appears to be one of our favourite haunts.

Friday was shopping and laundry. I did visit the local “Bauhaus” which is like a B&Q on steroids. First I had one handful of shopping, then another, until finally I had go and grab a trolley!

Thursday we drove to Split which is around 2 hours each way on the motorway. If anything, we were a little underwhelmed by the town. Yes there are lots of the usual narrow streets and plenty of ancient buildings to view but it was difficult to park, very busy with tourists and, well, just a little underwhelming. Moe did manage to climb the 60m tower but the staircases bolted on the inside were just a little bit too flimsy and precarious for my liking. A selection of pictures follow.

On the way back we stopped at a motorway service area which has a viewing point over Skradin, from where one can catch a boat into the Krka National Park.

The motorway passes over the Lower Krka River at this point and there was another of the “standard” Croatian bridges like the one in New Mexico. Moe has suggested (I believe accurately) that the film shot at that location was actually “Terminator”.

Views towards Skradin.
