Zaostrog - lifes a beach!

Weds 28^th – Zaostrog

After the disappointments of camp Rozac in Trogir Camp Vitter was back to normal. A lovely quiet site 50m from the beach and our pitch had proper grass! The drive down was dramatic and very twisty. The tarmac frequently vanished and you had to cross a gravel strip – work in progress. Very minimal warning – in fact none.  Once established I immediately headed to the sea for a refreshing swim – on the cool side but wonderfully relaxing after a sweaty drive.

We walked up towards the old town which lies below Mount Vitter. The town moved downhill after an earthquake in 1962 destroyed many of the houses. We could see that some were now inhabited but the majority still had no roofs.

Fri 30^th

We moved all of an hour up the coast to Camp Sirena just south of Omis. What a dramatic terraced site, clinging to the side of a steep slope. A real gem of a find with winding steps connecting all of the levels. Our pitch looked right over to Brac island and beyond. Worringly the wind was picking up, oh no the dreaded Burra was coming……. 

calm before the storm

 The van next to us was one I recognized from Primosten & Trogir – yet again were we being followed?  Very nice and friendly couple.

still windy in morning

No campers on the site slept that night as the wind was unbelievable. Our van despite being no lightweight and with steadies firmly down and rear air suspension set on hard was wobbling like a jelly!  I slept a fair bit but Tina was very tired next morning.

The elderly German Triker with mini sleeping pod when I was chatting to him about his “rig” made reference to boats and waves to describe his night.
