Next stop for a couple of nights was Krk, a small island off the Croatian coast that you can actually reach by bridge. This was our first of many slow journeys on Croatia – it seems that everyone is on the move constantly, and we have spent quite a few hours in traffic jams due to congestion, or in some cases accidents that have happened along the way.

Not a lot to say about Krk to be honest – it was quite a picturesque little town, but I have to say nothing all that special and one definitely set up for the tourists. On the plus side there was a dog beach and we found a beer called Grif, which Matt selflessly tried, but I have to admit we were fairly happy to hit the road again after a couple of days (despite the slow-moving traffic!) and get back onto the mainland.
