On an Island: Krk

Well, here we are on the Croatia's largest island, Krk. We don't even have to take a ferry - just roll along the nice long (toll) bridge and drive south to the town named Krk (is that a little confusing?).

We stay in a big seaside holiday type site within easy walking distance of the little town with the obligatory historic Cathedral. It's not normally our thing, this kind of site, but it's a complete change and quite fun. We walk in and have a drink at a great little beach bar after an exploration of the local sites and shops.

Yes, it's   r e l a x i n g   here on this warm Croatian Island.  How about a tenuous connection? David Gilmour

We're here...



After relaxing [😎😎] on the beach for a day we explore the island a little in the Treg, visiting tourist Baška, known for its beach surrounded by imposing limestone cliffs, and the little Stara Baška, which we much prefer; we eat a nice fish lunch here.

Relaxing tomorrow [😎] then off to the Slovenian coast. That's another country, another post then.

Bye for now...

PS
I forgot to say how much we like Croatia: its people, its scenery, its roads, its drivers.... although, in some ways, of course, that's because it's familiar: more like the rest of the EU. We'll miss it.
