Today we did the roadtrip between Split and Durbrovnic and it was wonderful.  The coastline of Croatia is spectacular as the road hugs the shore and around every corner is another little village of white and orange buildings.  Tourism is the main product these days.  We are actually travelling at the end of the tourist season so the numbers are down and we are seeing things without masses of people everywhere.

The temperature here has been warm and we have been wearing Tshirts most of the time.

I have decided that sport cars are the way to do a roadtrip.  We had to squeeze our bags into the boot and back seat but managed it somehow.  Thelma....I mean Leith and I shared the driving and it was very cool with the roof off (as you do)!!!

Glad we did Split before Durbrovnic because if we had seen them in the other order, I think we would have been disappointed.  However, we loved Split and really enjoyed its history and beautiful buildings and people.  Durbrovnic is alive with young and old, dining and socialising in alleyways and little restaurants and bars;  people wandering through narrow lanes between ancient tall buildings; the sounds of conversation and music filling the air. 
In another life this would be heaven to live somewhere like this.  I am sure the reality is not so heavenly but it has a magic for the visitors that won't be forgotten.

This little boy was in the village we found for lunch.  We sat outside and enjoyed the spectacular scenery.
