Croatian Riviera
















Yes, we are now onto our Croatia leg of the trip with the Grimsby Walking Club. All travel after we left Prague - Manchester - Newcastle...to Markaska went smoothly. Very cold on the North Sea while in Newcastle but we did manage a walk on the beach and of course, a hot order of chips.
Arrived last night and it was quickly dark. Woke up this morning to blazing sunshine and blue sky and a gorgeous view of the Adriatic Sea. bridey and I have completed a walk around the two local bay areas. Did not go for a walk with the club as we got up too late and bridey has a very bad chest cold that she picked up in Prague from Josef s daughter. We are taking a lazy day. Will go back to the hotel and have some time at the poolside...25 degree pool!

I am adding some photos of Prague and Makarska. The first two images are here in Croatia and the other two are from Prague...Josef and his family and Prague Castle.
We will add some additional images and update our post later in the week.
hugs from us to all of you!
