Well, we’re either being very lucky with our weather predictions or we’re should apply for a job at the Met. Office! After checking the forecast for today, we decided we didn’t need to pack up the van last night. Apple Weather said 35% chance of rain at 10am, which would give us loads of time…

5 weeks! Another day in Alberobello before we head south to Brindisi tomorrow for the ferry to Greece. The campsite is next to a tennis club and they were partying until well past 1AM. Elsewhere there were fireworks and dogs barking well into the early hours. It’s not exactly peace and quiet on many of…

Another great day today. A village full of crazy round houses and some retail therapy. The first thing to remark on today though is Sue’s alarm at trying out a bum gun at the B&B last night… the less said about that the better I think! But back to today… We had a leisurely start…

Well it was a good job we packed last night! As we went to bed last night I could see sheet lightning filling the sky to the north of us. And as I watched it for the next few hours it seemed not to be getting any closer. But… just as I’d fallen asleep Sue…

Wow! Again! Sue thinks this was the best day of the trip so far, and that was before she got her phone back! It was a reasonably early start again today. We left the campsite just before 8 with no breakfast. The #6 arrived pretty quickly, authenticated our Dubrovnik day pass, and dropped us at…

Phew… that was a day in the heat! But wow! – Dubrovnik! We’d decided last night that we wanted to do the Dubrovnik Old Town Historical Tour. So we’d booked for the 10 o’clock tour hoping to keep out of the blistering heat later in the day…. We were partially successful. We had a quickish…

Another travel day today. 250km to cover. We have a space pre-booked at the Solitudo Camp Site in Durbrovnik, the only camp site, that we could see, in the town. There was no particular rush to get packed and on the road, so Sue went for a double whammy… an early morning run, followed by…

A quiet day again today, though we headed into Trogir on the 8am ferry for an early mooch around and some breakfast. It was a hot night again with temperatures only dipping into the 20’s late in the night. And the idiot behind us decided it would be a good idea to blow his paddle…

End of week 4… 4 weeks away! Because of the heat, at least that’s how it feels to us, we’ve had a quiet day, just cycling out to a quiet cove for a dip, first thing. The temps are still in the mid 30’s during the day, so we decided to make an early start…

First full day on the island of Ciovo and we decided to take the ferry to Trogir. We’d both had a very hot and sweaty night last night. Temperatures stayed in the high 20’s until around 3am, so we were both very glad of our swamp-cooler fans… Water goes in the top and is evaporated…
