Our stay at the awesome Camp Zagreb was punctuated by blistering heat (37C at one point on Wednesday afternoon!) and an almighty storm on Wednesday night which circled around us for what seemed like hours before any rain fell. There was something almost surreal about sitting under our awning, BBQing our dinner, whilst watching the … Continue reading Arriverderci, Croatia – We Shall Miss You!

Our Final Few Days In Croatia – For Now!
On Monday morning, we bade our final (for now!) farewells to Camp Marina, and headed north for The Plitvice Lakes National Park. Again, we took the inland route and witnessed further the consequences of The Homeland War - quite saddening, to be honest and it really has piqued an interest in what exactly happened to … Continue reading Our Final Few Days In Croatia – For Now!
A Damp Departure From Dubrovnik Led To Our First Croatian Disappointment – But Not For Long!
So, the rain persisted as we left our pitch at Camping Kate last Wednesday morning and persisted until we'd cleared Dubrovnik's northern limits - a tad disappointing as the view down over the city from the cliff road as it wended it's way around was awesome but not very photogenic in view of the rain … Continue reading A Damp Departure From Dubrovnik Led To Our First Croatian Disappointment – But Not For Long!
Our Journey So Far…..
The thunderstorm and rain, which we've been expecting for the last couple of days, finally arrived today so our planned walk along the coast to Plat has had to be postponed for a few hours. Team Sebo busied themselves with domestic chores and a long overdue updating of our trusty old map. When I say … Continue reading Our Journey So Far…..
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Dubrovnik…..
So, there we were, fresh off the Hvar ferry on Sunday afternoon, meandering slowly down the coast road, with a vague plan to spend the night at Camp Rogac at Slano enroute to Dubrovnik. All well and good? Well no, not exactly....turns out that, despite it's website claims that it re-opened on April 1st, … Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Dubrovnik…..
No Bed For Sebo In Stari Grad But A Gem Of A Find In Jelsa
On Wednesday morning, we upped-sticks and drove the 20km down to the north coastal town of Stari Grad, the historic centre of Hvar Island. It was said to have been founded by The Greeks in 384BC so, yeah, it's pretty old! As we'd thought, the only campsite there is now defunct and being used as … Continue reading No Bed For Sebo In Stari Grad But A Gem Of A Find In Jelsa
Hvar Town – Party On Down!
Yes, folks, Team Sebo have been checking out Hvar Town's reputation as The Party Town but, before I spill the beans on all that, I suppose I should fill you in on how we actually got here! Hvar Town is, not surprisingly, the main town on Hvar island - no medals for working THAT one … Continue reading Hvar Town – Party On Down!
Our Love Affair With Croatia Continues….
Our drive down to Trogir was marred only by a bunch of major roadworks and badly signed diversions (of which our CoPilot seemed blissfully unaware!) which led to a bit of stress for Team Sebo.....particularly for Harley who, having listened to his Dad muttering "FFS!!!" on numerous occasions, now believes there to be another dog onboard, … Continue reading Our Love Affair With Croatia Continues….
Natural Wonders At Krka National Park
Apologies for the lack of ramblings here lately but we've been rather busy being totally enthralled by another of Croatia's beautiful National Parks PLUS, summer has finally arrived and we've spent most of our time out of doors, soaking up the sun's rays! Anyhow, where were we? Oh yeah, we were in Zadar when we … Continue reading Natural Wonders At Krka National Park
Pag, Nin, Zadar……Sounds Like We’re In Flash Gordon’s Universe!
Our few days in Camping Village Simuni were spent doing very little, to be honest. We made the most of the sunshine and lolled in our comfy outdoor chairs, taking short strolls along the beaches and watching the amazing sunsets. So warm was it on Monday that we celebrated Harley's 2nd Birthday by joining him … Continue reading Pag, Nin, Zadar……Sounds Like We’re In Flash Gordon’s Universe!
