Todays journey was to Krka National Park in Skradin, Croatia. We drove to Skradin which took about 45 minutes along a scenic route. Skradin is and interesting town. It seemed like they hadn't completely recovered from the war. One building we past appeared to have been bombed and the one next to it had been on fire at one point. The end of town near the harbor was lovely and clearly geared towards tourists. There were multiple restaurants and shops. 

We took a boat into the park which took 20 minutes. The water of Krka Lake is a gorgeous shade of green and the lake is surrounded by beautiful greenery. The park consists of numerous paths along the sides of waterfalls. We got our steps in today and climbed more steps then we have in a while. It was a lovely day temperature wise and sunny. 

Croatia is famous for it's pancakes/crepes so we tried them for 'lunch'. They were tasty but I think I'll stick to gelato.

When we got back to Murter we checked out another beach we were curious about. It didn't live up to our usual beach so we went there instead. They are just down the street from each other. We had time for a quick swim in the Adriatic which was just what we needed after walking for hours. We acted like we were grown ups and had a cocktail and fried calamari before getting our take out pizza and getting home before dark.

We didn't see any cats so I thought swans and ducks would do.The swans were surprisingly nice.

Ending the day at our current favorite beach and beach bar. From what I could see everyone kept their clothes on while we were there.

 I can't believe this is our last day. We fly out early tomorrow morning so we are spending the night at a hotel near the airport that has a shuttle. It's a swanky old place We returned the rental car so the end feels real. I'll try to summarize everything after we get home and settled but the bottom line is this has been an amazing adventure. I am so happy I kept this blog so we'll be able to go through it and remember everything we've done. It is a bit of a blur right now.  I do remember what we did today. We started with a nice breakfast at our hotel in Argegno and then drove to Cernobbio. This is a lovely town on Lake Como that we passed on the way to the hotel. It's very small but managed to fit in three churches. It was beautifully landscaped and is home to a very exclusive hotel we weren't able to get near, and some large villas. The downtown was charming and home to assorted restaurants and stores. We were going to have lunch here but decided to get ...

 Today we traveled to Kotor. The journey included amazing views which made our day. We traveled through the mountain area to experience something different. we achieved that goal. Jack liked the drive enjoying all the switchbacks, crazy turns and dangerous narrow roads. I was mostly okay with it. I was terrified at times but the views were amazing. I captured some of it but the pictures do not do it justice. Our room is great but includes an incline and about 80 steps. We should be in much better shape at the end of this trip, or in the hospital. There is a swimming entry to the bay at the end of our driveway. I'm sure we will enjoy this along with the rest of the area.                                                                   View from the road        ...

 We made it! We are in Montenegro. The flight was delayed about a half an hour but that wasn't a problem. There was a baby screaming for about half the trip but I felt more sorry for the parents and people sitting near it than us. Neither Jack nor I got more than an hour's worth of sleep. First lesson of the trip is don't fly Basic Economy on an over-night flight. We were so cramped it was impossible to get comfortable enough to sleep. You know it was bad if Jack didn't sleep. Getting the rental at the airport went vey smoothly and we were off. Jack was a trouper and handled the driving and navigation beautifully. I was completely useless and ended up with a migraine that resulted in frequent stops along the way. Aside from that, the travel itself was as good as we could have asked. We were through the border in less then half an hour. I had read it could take hours. We connected with the car ferry seemlessly, and were on our way through the windy mountain roads. Not id...
