Croatia
Wonderful islands that seemed barely touched by the tourist hordes

1st Visit

31 August - 2 September 1982 (Yugoslavia)

The train from Hungary took us to the Adriatic port of Rijeke. The ferry took us to the island of Mali Losinj, not our intended destination. A unforgettable visit which involved our sleeping bags being stolen and the 6 of us sleeping under a small porch in heavy rain The Inter Rail 1982 tour then took us to another part of former Yugoslavia which is now Slovenia.

2nd Visit

22 July - 4 August 1985 (Yugoslavia)

The Trans-Alpino train took us to the Italain port of Ancona and a ferry took us across the Adriatic to Zadar. From there we headed south to the ports of Sibernik and Split. Fiona, Susan, Helen, Braz and I discovered the natural paradise of the Krka national park near Split where I almost drowned. We visited Korcula island and the outstanding walled city of Dubrovnik. On our return we stopped off in San Marino.

3rd Visit

1 May 2000

We arrived in Zagreb early via train from Slovenia. Our tour was limited due to heavy rain. Lorraine & I flew back home and waved goodbye to Mark who returned to Bosnia.
