September 2021: cable car up the Hochfelln, three days in Slovenia cycling round Lake Bled, then Rabac, Pula, sailing from Rovinj and Umag.
Last stop of our 2021 Croatia trip: the abandoned town of Dvigrad, the old town of Poreč and once again the small Lighthouse campsite near Umag.
Second stop of our 2021 Croatia trip: the Arena Stoja campsite on a peninsula near Pula, with premium pitches by the water and a historic city centre a short bike ride away.
In June 2021, after the long Covid break, we finally went to Croatia again – starting at the Ostro campsite near Kraljevica, with trips to Rijeka and Krk.
From Umag we drove to Poreč for a new water pump at a great camping shop – and on the way back visited the Jama Baredine cave.
Our first longer tour in the Malibu Van in September 2020 was meant to go round Slovenia – a jam, a repair near Salzburg and bad weather led us to Umag in Croatia instead.
A few more days in Croatia at the end of August 2018 – by plane to Split, boat trips to Krbela Vela and Lake Morinje, dolphins and a night on a buoy off Žirje.
Our first trip to Croatia in 2018 was in May – warm, almost no tourists and our new boat canopy, plus a visit to the little fishing village of Tribunje.
In September 2017 we flew to Croatia for the first time – with a hire car, an apartment in Tisno and a four-boat trip to the salt lake and cliffs of Dugi Otok.
In September 2016 we travelled to Croatia by car with the boat, stayed in an apartment in Tisno, hiked to Jezera and visited Split – with a warning about the harbour car park.
In March 2016 we took our boat to Biograd for a new camper cover and stayed a few days in Croatia – with a trip to beautiful Trogir.
Croatia again in 2015: the Plitka Vala campsite, shoes and handbags in Šibenik, the sunsets we come back for – and a boat trip out onto the open sea.
Our 2014 summer on Murter: lighting trouble on the way, confusing tolls, an empty high season, an overheating outboard, the Krka waterfalls and a donkey race.
Our 2013 summer on Murter: toll-booth discussions, the sea organ in Zadar, the salt lake on Dugi Otok and why we no longer recommend one restaurant.
Our 2012 holiday on Murter: a gearbox scare before departure, then snorkelling, boat trips to Dugi Otok and the Krka lake, dolphins and Šibenik.
Three and a half weeks on Murter in 2011: a boat engine puzzle, trips to the Kornati islands, Zadar and Raslina – and a breakdown on the motorway home.
Our main holiday in 2010 on the Murter peninsula in Croatia, at the Plitka Vala campsite – with boat trips to Vodice and Šibenik.
Our three-week summer holiday 2009 in Croatia: a long journey with boat and trailer, the Kredo campsite on Cres/Lošinj and then the Autocamp in Betina on Murter.
