Island Life

We are on the ferry from Zadar to Pula....5h and I have finished my novel so time for a blog update. We have called into a few other places some quite isolated and others crowded with boats and tourists. The sun has just set again in a blaze of glory into the Adriatic Sea.

Preko...well the photos tell it all really. Our apartment looked out across the strait back to Zadar though  a well judged tilt of the head improved the view by eliminating the petrol station from the line of vision. Nell enjoyed comparing and contrasting various anatomical details of the forecourt girls however. Ljubica was charming and happily rectified a few deficiencies in the culinary equipment and generally the apartment was comfortable and the AC made it a cool haven from the midday heat. The bathroom fan was a novelty though with it's loud rattle becoming akin to a duck being strangled when switched off. In fact it would be fair to say the plumbing and bathroom fittings were in need of attention all round.

The island was not particularly touristy and although the beaches were small they were never too crowded. Our local restaurant along the waterfront served delicious thin crust pizza and grilled squid so that kept the inner man and woman well satisfied. Deliciously simple and simply delicious.
