Going up this tower in Slovakia may have been ‘pretentious’ but it was worth the climb for the beautiful views. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I must say that I’d be hard pushed to pick a favourite view or indeed a favourite memory from our travels this summer. In fact, I’ve had to take a look back over my diary to remind myself of all the wonderful places we have been to. I always love hanging out in beautiful…
Sopot Waterfall and Pićan, Croatia Once again, the Oldies managed to drag themselves (and me) away from the seaside and set off on another outing into inland Istria. No sea for me this time, but it was a fascinating trip all the same. First stop was Pićan, a medieval walled town perched on a hilltop overlooking the vineyards and with stunning views of the panorama of hills beyond. I found it very reminiscent of Motovun, just not yet as well…
Plomin and Rabac, Istria, Croatia It was hilarious watching Her Ladyship trying to figure out which shower block was the ladies’ in the campsite in Bojnice in Slovakia.

It even has dog showers, for goodness sake. I wonder if it has seagull showers? What am I saying? Who cares anyway? The main thing is, we…
Kornati Islands, Croatia Fair dues to His Lordship. I don’t know how he did it, but he has managed to persuade Her Ladyship to go on a boat trip to the Kornati Islands. To be honest, I don’t even care how he did it. The main thing is we’re going to spend all day on a ship in one of the most beautiful parts of the Adriatic. It doesn’t get much better than this! We set off at the crack…
Šibenik, Primošten, Trogir, Dalmatian Coast In between our numerous trips inland to the Krka National Park, we have been touring the Dalmatian coastline. And what a coastline it is. I have rarely seen a more picturesque location for a bus stop. I don’t think I would get very far in this part of the world if I had to rely on public transport. I’d be far too distracted by those incredible views to remember to keep an eye out for…
