We set off from home at 3am this morning - bound for Manchester Airport. The flight left at 6.15 am.
Two and a half hours to Dubrovnik and then a further two and a half hours in a small transfer coach up the coast north to Orebic.

Soon after arriving we strolled into the little town. Later we were swimming both in the pool and the sea and then this evening we feasted in the buffet restaurant, making use of a holiday package deal that includes wine and beer with your evening meal. It would be very easy to be gluttonous like all-inclusive passengers on a cruise ship.
Anyway, so far so good here in Croatia where "hvala vam" means thank you. The temperature is pleasantly warm. It takes longer for summer to evaporate here on this balmy Adriatic shore.
It has been a long day. Lady Pudding is already between the sheets. Time for me to go there too. Night night...

Oh nice. You have done well there Mr P. Looking forward to seeing more views of the area as it looks pretty good so far. Sleep well.
ReplyDeleteNight night mom!
DeleteI've been thinking about you and your trip, hoping all is well. And it does appear to be so!
ReplyDeleteThe drive north allowed us to see much of the Croatian coastline so we were happy to just sit there and watch.
DeleteYou have such beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteIt was a happy accident that we got a good sea view Bonnie. At first they couldn't find our booking so this was the reward.
DeleteIt looks beautiful...and it would appear you will enjoy lovely weather during your stay.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good deal at the restaurant. A rare deal, indeed.
...And the food is very good and plentiful too. Last night there were both tuna and shark steaks in the fish section... while a third of the planet goes hungry.
DeleteI like your first photo as the roof line leads you down to the busy bay.
ReplyDeleteWhen I took that picture I was a little irritated that I couldn't cut out the roof but on reflection I think it works as an image.
DeleteWhat a view! Love the bay photo. You are right, the roof does" draw the eye". You did well to escape...it's going to rain here most of the day!
ReplyDeleteA well-deserved post-wedding recuperation. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHave you smelled Ajvar cooking yet? This is the time of year they begin to make that delicious red pepper condiment. I have just been talking to my friends in Macedonia on Skype and Magica tells me the smell is in the air everywhere there.
ReplyDeleteMr. P- have received your coaster and I am thrilled! Thank you. I do want to send you something and although I know I had your email at one time, I can't find it. Could you send it to me and give me your address if that's okay? mmerluna@aol.com
ReplyDeleteTravelling can be exhausting. I don't blame Mrs Pudding for curling up early. Enjoy the balmy heat. I'm thinking of putting my central heating on here! Looking forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteI like the roof in that photo, too. I think it adds, not subtracts, from the whole.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your wonderful environment! I'm pretty sure I don't have to prod you to do that.
Looks like a beautiful place!
