Arrived at Salerno at 12:30ish. Seems they close the shops between 2-4. The leather shop we wanted was already shut just after 1PM. But you know what they say "when in Salerno do as the Salernians do" Next stop Rome via Eurostar.
Praiano is nestled on a hill on the Amalfi coast. Its all Terraced gardens and rendered stone houses. I now understand more the way the expatriate Italians in Aus build because I've now seen so many examples in Italy. Went to Pompeii yesterday. Very extensive well...
Well worth going to. Dubrovnik has a massive Castle and a stone work Town inside. It is bordered by sea and is uber picturesque. Caught a bus from our accommodation overlooking the Ferry Port for 10KN each. For those with an engineering background KN is _not_...
Korcula. What a suprise! From Hvar we were treating Korcula as a necessary stop on the way to Dubrovnik. And so only planned one night and then leave on the bus in the morning. But Korcula is lovely. A small Promontory which houses the old town and ancient buildings...
Go Hvar! Via the magic of the internets we booked accommodation at Villa Zorana while we were in Split. Finding Villa Zorana was a bit of a challenge. Apparently Hvar has only just recently named the streets so even people that spoke English (which just about all do...
From Plitvice - We caught a coach to Split. The interesting thing about the coach is that it takes a very circuitous route to get to Split so instead of taking 3 hours it takes 6. This was fine for us because it gave us a chance to see the country-side. Especially the...
From Zagreb we caught a coach to Plitvice National Park. The Zagreb bus depot was about a km from our Hotel and we were in a rush but got there in plenty of time. We managed to get off at the wrong Ulaz (entrance) but we were staying at a 3 star B&B the people were...
It's 8:30 and its still light. Lisa has just ducked in to a place called muller to get a better hair brush I'm people watching. I'm in some sort of public square in Zagreb seems to have markets and shops. Finally Lisa is out of the shop. Tomorrow Plitvice National...
Just arrived off the train to Zagreb Croatia from Ljubljana it's 11:31AM. Ironically we are staying for one night in "Hotel Central Zagreb" not to be confused with Hotel Center Ljubljana which we stayed in whilst in Ljubljana Slovenia. Haven't looked around at the...
Sitting outside Zlata Ribica Restaurant just finished my Venison. Lisa tucking into a fish plate that included (shudder) Frogs Legs. The Church Bells are tolling at the moment (although I can't figure out why they are excited it's 6:15PM). This is a University Town...
