Last stop Biograd on the coast

 Did a stop in Zadar and walked through the Roman old town, very impressive town square.  Interesting town parking only on the waterfront, no restaurants.  



We enjoyed our little apartment, the kitchen was the best so far equipped with a stove and dishwasher!   Did 2 days of diving, mainly along walls.  Trent was happy he was able to see a wreck, it was the a German transport that they don’t know the name of. It was carrying munitions and when it hit a shoal the ship exploded. It was blown completely to pieces and sections are all over the ocean floor from 12 meters deep to over 40.


 


On Friday we headed to split with a detour to Bibichi winery where we sampled some amazing Dalmatian wines, the white, Debit, is similar to Chardonnay and the three reds  La sin, Babic and Plavina (lighter Zinfandel)

Had a nice room just outside the wall in split, wondered around the town in the evening as it was 38 during the day.  Found some ice cream to cool down.

 There is a lot to see at the southern most tip of North America. Christmas is big here, lots of decorations using pine bow garland but I haven’t seen any pine trees so it must just be tradition. Lots of churches too, quite a few have been repurposed though, like the one above. We did make a little faux pas at the Southernmost Point. We walked up, waited till the people there took their picture then we took our sand left. It was only then that we noticed the line up down the street waiting to take pictures. OOPS! Happened to watch a funeral as well. All the streets blocked off to the church and police everywhere. It was the wife of some newly elected politician so lots of pomp and security. It was reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral only fewer bands.  Last day in the Keys then onto the boat tomorrow!

 We did another road trip on the 23rd. ( We are a little behind on our posts, busy few days). We decided to try to go to Punta Chame. We were told that the road was terrible but thought we could try it and turn around if it was too bad. It was slow, the road did have some large potholes(but what road here doesn’t) and some construction but otherwise a pretty easy drive. I could say ‘I could have driven a school bus through there’. Pretty little town, fairly isolated, lots of fishing boats. What else would you do here. A number of resorts with one very large one, Playa Caricol Residences and Beach Club. Really big and very new. Us, being plebeians hung at the Surf Shack for a bit. It’s right beside the resort and much more regular. Cold beer is cold beer! If you look hard you can see some kite surfers in the second pic. Instead of just heading home I decided to see where the road went. Not too long a track but it ended right at the tip of the point. It was completely deserted. You c...
