Finally more from Croatia!!!

Auntie Jen making sure she gets enough kisses in while on holiday!

A few more beach bum shots


A view of our villa and private beach on Kolacep




We took the a water taxi to Dubrovnik for the day, this was the view as we approached of the stunning bridge leading into the walled city. Our plan was to walk the walls, as the views from up there are amazing, but the day ended up being too hot. We enjoyed walking around the city instead and down the 'stradun' which cuts right through the Old City. The ground is a smooth limestone walkway and and has survived the earthquake in 1667 and the Siege of Dubrovnik in 1992.

Our water taxi!
Pile Gate - entrance to the Old City via a drawbridge
Jake and Auntie Jen checking out the limestone walkway and old buildings
The light looked really cool in the narrow alleyways


Not enough pics from this spectacular city, will have to go back some day I guess:)


Back on our island, walking across to the other side of the island (half-hour walk) to find the best fish 'konoba' (restaurant)

Love the signage...
Our chef was grilling our fish, (which was fabulous!) using some kind of hairdryer to get the coals going, and checking out the other tourists approaching with binoculars. Multitasking? A little strange? Yes.

Auntie Jen and Jake relaxing during dinner:) It was such a relaxing and perfect holiday on our little island. London seemed WAY too busy when we got back...
