Not really much to report today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d packed up the van last night, so we were away from the Bear, Plitvice campsite by 8:45, once we\u2019d had some brecky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then just a question of knocking out the 240km to Trogir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we\u2019d got an hour or so under our belt we called the Camp Rozac site and reserved a pitch. We were hoping we\u2019d get one in the A zone pitches, next to the \u201cbeach\u201d but they said that wasn\u2019t possible so we\u2019d be in the C ad-hoc zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: it seems that a lot of campsites don\u2019t let you book slots in August, but they will let you book slots for August. I.e. you can\u2019t book a pitch if it\u2019s already August, but you can book a pitch in, say, February, for August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was good news, we hadn\u2019t got any backups organized and it was a relief that we could get into our first choice campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we got closer to the coast the terrain changed from green wooded hillsides to brown dry hills. It got a lot hotter too, from 24 to 34 C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we least the wooded hillsides and got closer to Zabir, the roads also got worse. We came across a road gang putting a new road surface down, though this was a good 30cm of road rebuild rather than a top dressing. But the lines of traffic had to weave in and out of the tarmac lifters, road rollers and what looked like road layers. There were a couple of traffic lights at one point, but in the UK the whole of the thing would have been cordoned off with a massive single laned and lighted system. It worked much better to have drivers figure things out for themselves, but it did look a bit precarious for the road workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threading our way through the road works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best bit was passing a guy running a road roller a few inches from where we had to drive, only to see him engrossed in his mobile phone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived about noon and were told there had been a few more checkouts and so we\u2019d have a better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to stay for 4 nights, so that restricted us a bit. We settled on a pitch right next to the water, though not the \u201cbeach\u201d, you\u2019ll see the \u201cbeach\u201d later. And we had access to a slip way that we could just walk straight into the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got a fence directly in front of us, but we\u2019re under a few trees and it looks like we\u2019ll be in the shade for most of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures are in the mid 30\u2019s, so it\u2019s good to be able to get into some shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a quick swim we headed out on foot to the local supermarket. Quite small but fine for a bit of salad and some chicken to cook in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a view of the \u201cbeach\u201d side of the campsite\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here it is from the beach itself\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then spent the afternoon reading and dipping into the sea. Oh and Sue gave me a hair cut\u2026 new clippers so it was a bit experimental!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There seem to be quite a lot of Brit\u2019s on the site, I counted at least 20 motor homes. There\u2019s a stretch of probably 14 motor homes that apparently come here every year. Haven\u2019t spoken to them yet. But our neighbour is also a Brit, Sharon, (been living in Belgium for 30 years) and we had a long chat with her about how they come back here each year. They\u2019ve got a quad bike that they use to get around on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s loads of little lizards running around that seem to be after the ants, that\u2019ll keep them, the ants, away from the food bins! We\u2019ve seen lizards from a couple of inches up to probably 8 inches. I\u2019ll try and get a picture of the lizards one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s also lots of little bitey bugs too. We\u2019re going to run out of deet at this rate (about the only thing that seems to really work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to round the day off we went and explored the sunset and ferry times into Trogir for tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be taking bike rides and a boat taxi or two into Trogir, and maybe a bus\/boat ride into Split over the next 3 days. But the weather is so hot that we might just chill and swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
