Sat 3rd may
An earlyish for us (we now find it impossible to have less than 8
hrs sleep) start had us headed for the Island of Krk. The road and scenery were
fab – great curves and some miracles of engineering took us around Rijeka and
onto a brand new motorway to the island.
Forgot to mention the teeming rain………again.
Krk bridge view
campsite rock beach & idiot?
The bridge across is very impressive. We
drove straight to camping Krk – formerly a naturist site, but now officially a
“textile” site. Thank goodness. 4 star
luxury at ACSI prices. Very, very nice site with designer loos and swimming
pool. We walked into town around some
lovely inlets. Nice place.

circle the difference(s)?
Sunday 4th may
Cloudy with cold wind – not what we wanted! Scooted into town and walked around the
narrow streets of the old town. Back for lunch then a cycle to Punat marina some
6km away. Mega yachts and a huge boat yard / marina hinted at what it must be like here in
August.
thought it was yellow?
sunset view from van
Lots of people were leaving to go home so the site was very quiet – have we finally
arrived at the quiet season?? Lovely
evening sun and great sunset across the bay to Krk town.
Monday 5th
Sunshine all day! We scooted
into town and had a coffee and yummy cake before we embarked for our 4 hour
island cruise. We were the only English
speakers – German was the dominant language as most tourists seem to be German,
Swiss or Austrian.
remote beach - boat only!
We burbled along the coast and passed some seriously lunar
rock formations. There were some amazing
tiny beaches only accessible by boat.
The landscape at Starska Barska was truly lunar and very barren. We cruised past the cliffs of one island and
saw a Griffon Vulture roosting. It was completely unperturbed by the boat
engine or the stupid German guy repeatedly clapping his hands!

We are now
officially islanded out. Next planned
move will be inland to explore the interior of the mainland.
our pitch
Interesting days. The place looks medieval. I see you suntans are developing nicely.
