Back to Croatia

We went to Croatia last week and we had no particular destination in mind. We thought we might spend a night in Dubrovnik and then drive north from there to
Split and time permitting perhaps go as far as Pula. We had more or less the same plan a little over a year ago and got as far as Trstenik and fell in love with it.
This year I was a little reticent about going to Trstenik because I was afraid that if we went back and it wasn't as wonderful as we remembered it would just spoil all our memories.
But when we got to Ston we said to heck with it, we would got to Orebic and would stop by Trstenik "just to see it" and then go on. Ha! The very second we caught sight of Trstenik we both said, "Ohhhh....let's stay again." So we sought out Marko at the Konoba Feral and he helped us find a room. There were quite a few more people in Trstenik than when we were there in late June last year so we made the split second decision to stay five nights. And boy, we are so happy we did. It was even better than our memories and was just so beautiful. It wasn't nearly as hot as when we were there last and the water was warm and so clear you could see several feet to the bottom.
Here's a photo of one end of Trstenik the first night we were there. There are only 60 people who live there year around and there were about 250 people staying there this last week. Most of the people visiting there were Italians, some Hungarians, Germans, Brits, and a few Romanians. For some reason Russians don't visit Croatia nearly as much as they do in Montenegro and Greece.
I'll write more later about the rest of our week there.
