Two weeks of meeting
and greeting people later, Rhiannon, Dad and me are of to Croatia to
sail. Stefano and Caro (Farina) are joining us for the first week and
Daniel and Anna-Lena are coming the week after.
At 5.17AM Dad came and
picked me up, after I had had two and a half hours of sleep. Got a
few comments about taking to much, as I took my swim suit and
flippers, too. Then at 5.23AM we left Zillhalde with Rhiannon to met
up with Farinas at the centre of town. Shortly after we set of
towards Austria with a Hogarth car and a Farina car. We had set of so
early to forgo any traffic that might be on the way. It's no
holidays, but the weekend just started. And then we drove and drove
and drove. A few places Dad recognised from his biking times in the
Alps (heard a story a few times about Heidi not giving him the chance
to have a coffee) and a few I recognised from my own explorations
with Nico.
In a spot in the
Dolomites we stopped for some breakfast. Haven't seen mountains like
that for years, Australia’s are a bit more worn down, but Oz has
it's own good things. After coffee Rhiannon had some fun on pass
roads and shortly prior to the Slovenian border Dad took over again.
Went through some toll roads and border controls in Slovenia and on
the Croatian border. Rhiannon took over the wheel again on the old
main road along the Croatian border and had some fun on it with
Stefano leading.
We arrived in Biograd
where we found the Marina after asking some locals and then got
settled on to the boat. It's a nice boat, a Dofour 350.
Did a shopping spree
shortly before dinner and then went to the Marina restaurant for some
food. Dinner took absolutely ages to get there (we thought dads salad
had been forgotten) but tasted pretty good.
Then back for some
bailys and bed.
