Road Trip

Road Trip!!!!!!

We awoke after a good night's sleep and had our usual European type breakfast.  It was good and satisfied my hunger.  We had decided to drive to Trogir, about 45 minutes south.  First, we decided that we wanted to go to the marina and look around.

We went to the marina and stopped at the first building.  It was a very modern and new office area for all types marine services.  There were outrageous megayachts at theis marina and not many sailboats.  We went in and asked for the office of the charter company.  We were directed further into the marina area and told where to go.  We followed her directions and found the office of the charter company, Dream Yachts.  We met Marina, the staff person in the office.  I had communicated with her via email regarding facilities and other important information such as the location of supermarkets and such.  Marina told us that we would be able to get the boat finished by noon on the day we were to have the boat.  That was great!!!!

We left the marina and headed south to Trogir.  The ride was quite scenic at time as we rode along the coast of the Adriatic Sea.  We stopped at an unofficial overlook just past the town of Premostin.  We could see the Adriatic in all of its splendor.  There was a marina below us at the area called Kremik.

While I was snapping pictures, Dolly visited a vendor who had setup shop out of the trunk of her car.  Dolly bought a bottle of wine.

Back on the road, we were in Trogir in short order.  We found the entrance to the historical site and parked the car.  We went inside after Dolly did some vendor shopping.  She saw a hat that she loved, but we left and went in.  The old part of Trogir was much like the Old City in Dubrovnik.  There were old buildings and churches with cafes, shops and restaurants throughout.  We walked through the area and headed to the harbor.  There were ferries and tour boats lined alond the quay.

We were a bit hungry and decided to have some lunch.  We picked a restaurant there on the quay and had a pizza for lunch while we "people watched".   After lunch, an American couple decided we were friendly Americans and the husband took our picture.

We toured around a little longer and decided to leave and head back to Sibenik.  This was not a very exciting place--an old fort, a church, and shops.

The drive back was pleasant and uneventful.  We went back to the apartment and relaxed for a while.  We later went into town to the harbor area and had a great dinner.  Full and happy we soon went to bed.
