Ah, Croatia!
We took a train from Rimini to Anacona, then a high-speed 5 hour ferry ride over from Anacona to Split, then a bus ride from Split to Primosten. Whew, that was a long day. To top it off, when we arrived in Primosten, we encountered 2 more friends of our friends and suddenly sleeping arrangements were overburdened. We were up to 10 people at this point with only sleeping arrangements for 7. It was a long evening getting all settled, but it worked out, we ended up renting a place from our friend’s Aunt that was a fine, comfortable room.
Primosten is beautiful, small, jut of land, that is almost an island on the Adriatic Sea. We were there for six nights and took a daily swim in the ocean and watched the tourists and sailboats from the cafe tables. Derrell and I took to fantasizing about taking sailing lessons while we while we watched the boats. That goes to show just how perfect the weather was. (Sailing never sounds good in choppy or rainy weather.)
Of our beachtown travels, this was a favorite town. The water was beautiful, the beaches were free of sidewalks and umbrellas, and the townsfolk seemed overly happy. The town had just the right amount of laziness factor, and we could get a decent enough pizza out of a small restaurant with an ocean front view. Ah, a bit of heaven.
