We were all a little slow to rise this morning. I’d slept through my alarm and we were so cosy after a mega thunderstorm last night. Honestly the sound of the rain was so heavy it felt like golf balls hitting the roof, and the first claps of thunder made me think someone had crashed. …

175 – Krka National Park & a Sea Organ
We were up bright and early to drive to Krka National Park. During the winter only two of the trails are open so we plumped for the Skradinski Buk waterfall, which you can walk to from Lozovac. Tickets were 30 kuna instead of 200 in summer and parking is free. It’s a pleasant boarded pathway …

169 – Long drives, beautiful lakes and the lure of Croatia
From the comfort of my bed I could look straight through the sunroof to a cracking view of the TV tower. At only 5 degrees I was tempted to stay snuggled up in bed and I doubt the pups would have minded. However Markles is a restless soul and doesn’t believe in duvet days, so …
