On this road does not make us pay for the cartoons because the old road. We find that traffic does not come around 16:00 to KRK. Take direction Baska and go for a tour of the campsite Zablace. At first glance there enthusiasm away from the beach, only two toilet blocks, plots not defined.
Despite this, the landscape is nice. The rock barren sand-colored frames the camp, giving an almost deserted.
decide to place a couple of days.
August 5, 2008 - Baska (KRK)
In the morning we wake up with absolute calm and after breakfast we decide to have free access to wellness club Baska. Children are excited to go swimming and the structure does not disappoint. In the afternoon we return to the camper and relax a bit '. Towards evening we make a detour to the beach.
Fndo pebble, beautiful setting panoramic sea but not exceptional. Children splash around a bit 'in the water and we stay to enjoy the warm weather that evening offered by the beach already almost empty. Dinner in the RV and walk downtown. The center of Baska
leaves us speechless: chock full of night spots in dim lights, great fish dishes and pub lounge.
A mountain of youth crowded the streets.
Nice place, but too chaotic for our tastes.
August 6, 2008 - direction Plitvjce
We wake up slowly and prepare to leave Zablace of Baska. At 10.00 we are already starting. We go out and keep KRK direction Split. The stretch of road along the coast there is breathtaking. Mare in shades from cobalt blue to emerald green. Senj
Up to skirt the coast of KRK always take direction Otocac and then we go inland. After a few km we realize that the landscape of the mountain is almost completely or almost empty. The road stretches for some rough travel slows. We hit so many empty houses and for most machine-gunned the last war. Here and there small memorials war dead. We get to
Plitvjce in the late afternoon and there affixed to camping Korana that satisfies us very much.
Again, the placement is free, but the impression of being in the middle of a valley in all freedom. Excellent service, market and restaurant. We opt for dinner in the camper based cevapcici purchased at the market. We retired early to sleep because tomorrow is waiting for us around the lakes.
August 7, 2008 - Plitvjce
Wake up at 7:00. The campsite offers a shuttle service to and from the lakes but with one step forward and one back.

After the motorway head towards the small bridge to cross to get to Page
The barren, rocky landscape has its own charm and brush on the sky of clouds that open after the shower makes the scene even more colorful.
Simuni We stop at the campsite, just as advertised along the coast covered, but unfortunately it is all full so we head to Novalja Strasko camping. The stretch of coast to Novalja seems much more green and forested. Once the
Strasko do the usual round of patrols in the area but only found a place free of campers. At first
Achit do not have a good impression of the camp but then there is a placement of all decorations and decided to stay until Monday.
August 9, 2008 - Novalja (Pag)
In the morning we leave in the bike looking for a beach outside the camp. The beaches crowded there so gentle walk along a dirt road and we come across a beautiful beach and completely at our disposal.
The sea is fairly clear, even if with the bottom of large bowl.
grant us the first real bath and we are totally on vacation!
the evening we take the train made available from the campsite and go Novalja dining out.
Unfortunately, our culinary expectations are not followed by a dinner really bad. Horror Cevapcici
the rubbery and nothing to say about fish dishes made with garlic and unpleasant looking.
Come back to the train station we take four good laugh watching the wildlife that wanders through the center.
animals kept in unspeakable style disco 80's. Freaks with rigged machines, windows down and music breaks eardrum with a lot of arm off!

After various maneuvers in mini Autokamp we decide to focus on the coast to Sibenik and torivamo what makes our case. Pirovac, a tiny country on an inlet facing the island of Murter, super quiet and light years away from the hustle and revelry. Autokamp Miran. For the
Ioia Terentia parked the camper on the beach and chatter about nothing.
discreet service, showers with cold water. There seems to be in May because the camp is almost deserted and we finally found what he does for us.
August 12, 2008 - Pirovac
days of sea and beach. Finally
Wendy ago the launch of the raft and the canoe and realizes the dream of sailing to the coast in total solitude in the face. Visit the center of

Atendimento a trip with a rather long stretch of coast about 280 km
Magistrala The road along the sea and left speechless when you reach Primosten and Sibenicco where a spell as the color of the sea is emerald green and blue cobalt. A real spectacle.
After Split Magistrala seen traffic, we decide to move inland to take the highway.
Pisak let the height of the Adriatic. The map marks the height of Šestanovac highway.
an afternoon start for us really adventurous. After the center of
Šestanovac we set forth a narrow winding road where if you find it hard to pass another car and being the only existing road passing through even heavy vehicles.
Walk ... walking ... No trace of the motorway .. indeed we are increasingly out of touch.
seems to be gone back 30 years, no sign and a suffocating heat.
he finished in front of a mule track.
Here we stopped near a cemetery in the middle of nowhere cosmic and a better road ahead of Saxons.
Here we meet a nice couple consisting of two elderly Dutch who look lost in search of a stretch of civilization. Where
Is the street? ah ah ah
Wendy and I leave the English course to take the path on mulatiera whether it is feasible with the campers and especially if it rejoins the main road.
Walk ... walking in the middle of nowhere, but after 10 minutes of brisk walking we decided to go back to the motorhome for groped to cross the road with the camper. We
an agreement with the Dutch grandmother stating that if we are not seen within one hour means that we have found the way .. we have understood ... ?
Road in the street with stones ... scrocchiola creaks and the camper to the point that after a quarter of an hour we turn and go back.
200 meters from the famous cemetery we encounter in the camper of Dutch friends who obviously did not understand a sledgehammer.
Of course the mule does not allow two-way traffic and the Dutch grandmother who is behind the wheel sweating like a pig before the slaughter.
I get off the trailer and go to see what to do. Wendy asked me to be his translator and proposes to her grandparents to give up the camper to run the back. Mrs.
in panic does not repeat the proposal twice and after a few minutes we are back on the asphalt. Look
time ... It's already 16.00 and there are still 200 km to the goal ...
It was decided to return to the coast and continue Magistrala.
The last stretch of road along the Peljesac walk at sunset rubbed his eyes from fatigue. We come to Orebic
after 21.00 and luckily found a parking area near the port camper.
Ms. Bergamo us pay 40 kuna for the night and us to celebrate the arrival we go to a nice restaurant to eat fish fritturona.
We just have to go to sleep.
August 14, 2008 - Korkula return
quick breakfast and off to the ferry.
Let's take a quick look at Orebic that leaves us amazed at the beautiful beaches, clear sea and a long main street with the mansions of sea captains.
The ferry leaves every 30 minutes and tickets cost € thirty scarce. 10 minutes and was already on Korkula.
500 meters after the port on the right is the entrance of the campsite Kalak.
I go in and Terentia vision.
The campsite has beautiful large shady pitches and seems to be well served, but has no beach and the only swimming stroke is the port ... sadness. Let the
Kalac hoping to find other campsites Autokamp more interesting. Even
Korkula is crossed by a single narrow, winding road and the other camps that we can not even be called camping ...
disheartened, dead tired and too smelly ... In the absence of shower we decided to return to port.
Korkula to say that it is a crib ... spectacular sea, a wonderful town but not good for the campers.
From the port we have a meeting and decide to take the ferry that takes us back on the coast Drvenik: 3 hours of navigation at a price of 50 euro total there rise quite a hundred miles of roads winding and difficult.
waiting for the ferry went we bid farewell to Korkula bath. A sea divine!
Drvenik arrive after 19.00 and to go back to Makarska Riviera.
luck looking for a campsite to spend the night.

It is now pitch dark so we place the best and tomorrow we'll look at where we are.
shower and in bed .... showers of horror movies!
15/16 August Baska Voda
We wake up in an eerie silence.
Camping with thick tree coverage looks like a wild mountain forest. All
seems a bit 'left in the wild. The services of the camping seem a relic from a concentration camp.
We did not really ... we think.
Special meeting of the group ...
We decide to spend the days of August and ended the chaos ... the 17 games in Istria. We are tired of looking for what we can not find!
agree that Dalmatia is really beautiful with landscapes overlooking the sea and breathtaking bays, contrasting colors looks great, but unfortunately not yet structured for traveling. We never found parking areas, chemical discharges stuff seem futuristic ... most of the campsites are small in size and can not accommodate large vehicles ... the tent would be great for this trip ... eh eh ...
After we decided to go anyway to explore the area and after 20 minutes of walking we reach the wonderful beach of Baska. Last show
Dalmatian worth the adventure to be lived and pays us up to come here anyway. August 17, 2008
direction Rovinj (Istria)
What about ... Dalmatian there will be given a rather stormy because even remember the trip back north was full of surprises.
column of 35 km on the highway ... Rok tunnel of Svetj Mala Kapela and with work in progress.
12 hours of road to get to the much dreamed of Rovinj.
Rovinj? view and review ... but always a place that deserves to be seen and reviewed and reviewed again ...
travel Conclusions:
my dad, camper for over 20 years always says, "the camper is always an adventure!"
