Cabin fever






















We arrived in Split at 7am on Saturday morning, spending the morning sitting on the dock waiting to board our sailing ship. The plan was to spend eight days sunning, swimming and exploring Croatia by sea. The reality was quite different!

Apparently it never rains in Croatia, except for the week we came. The first three days were a blur of thunder, lightening, torrential rain and card games. We are both pros at Texas Hold´em poker and Uno, thanks to the group of travellers on our boat.

Its a mixture of young people from Australia, the UK, Ireland, the States and New Zealand (we are two of the three kiwis). Lucky for us they are all good sorts and we have all been getting on pretty well.

The last couple of days have been beautiful, and more like what we were expecting. Today we have just arrived in Makaska and are going to a Pirates and Sailors themed party in a cave bar tonight. Then its back to Split tomorrow where we will spend the night before catching the ferry over to Ancona in Italy.
The plan is to spend eight days there before heading to Greece and Turkey, we just need to work out the finer details.
