Last Stop: Lakes

Can't stop time, unfortunately, so here we are at the last two-night stop with the group and, it has to be said, this has been a really good tour; great people - positive attitudes; great scenery; incredibly interesting history and culture and good tour leaders. More of this at the end of this blog....

...but, first, we have to mention the great (fathers') day we spend with new friends walking around 13km around the wonderful  Plitvice Lakes  National Park. We use the Touareg to get there early to avoid the crowds and find a really well developed, sympathetic, tourist attraction that doesn't unduly detract from the attraction, of you see what I mean. Top Marks Croatia.

Goodbye Bosnia and Herzogovena, Hello Again Croatia

The Plitvice Lakes

Thanks for the cards and good wishes from dear daughters, too...

And so to our (very nice) farewell meal; thanks from tour leaders and thanks from us (well done Karen). A very warm farewell to each other with lots of hugs and manly hand shakes. A bit sad, to be honest.

So, deep breath, we get ready for an early departure and finalise the route to our campsite by the sea at Trogir, which sounds a wonderful, historic, little town. It's just down the road from Split, too. Should be good, but we'll probably need to crash out for a while as the emotional crash that always follows a full-on tour kicks in: hence the beach...

Next post: next chapter in our adventure.
