The clouds have cleared from Cres, and we’re seeking shade from the sun again. Daytime temperatures are in the mid-twenties and the crystal-clear sea has regained a few of the degrees lost in last week’s storm.
We’re passing our time with morning cycle rides along the shore to Cres harbour where we have a coffee and watch the world (mainly German and Austrian) go by and too look at the boats. While the weather holds, we sit by the beach in the afternoon, finishing the day with a swim.
Yesterday, we went on a minibus tour to local points of interest. We were the only customers, so ‘Ivan’ took us in his own car and we had exclusive benefit of his knowledge of the area and its history. We went to Orlec to see the cliffs where the griffins nest; to Vrana to see the vast fresh water lake, ‘Vranska jèzero’; to Lubenice to visit the village and to peer down the 398 metre cliff to the beach below; and to Valun, because it’s an attractive small fishing village.
We’re the only ‘Brits’ here at Camping Kovačine as far as we can see; however, we haven’t checked out the nudist section!
Our next stop will be on the neighbouring island of Krk. Meanwhile, we hope you will like to share some more photos.
