Dalmatian Coast Day 13
Crossing the Border
We left from Pula, and stopped by Rovinj on our way out of Croatia. By the time we\'d crossed the border into Slovenia it was cloudy and wet; but we'd soon be in Bled
Stories and tips from around the world.

Leaving the lakes of Plitvice behind us, we arrived in the Italian influenced city of Pula for our last day in Croatia.
Another day, another place to see - we travelled from Zadar to Grabovac and spent the afternoon hiking around the lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice National Park.
After a wet day in Zadar, we had a warm but extremely windy day on Pag Island to visit one of their cheese manufacturing places.
We left Split behind us and took a coach to Zadar - one of the oldest populated cities in Croatia, but one which had been bombed to the ground by the Allies in WW2. With the change in group, came a change in the weather.
With our group now in pieces, a few of us continued the tour with a private bus to Klis, Salona, and Trogir. It was also time to be introduced to the new group…
Arriving in Split was the beginning of the end for our group. We'd each be going our separate ways. First we'd got time to explore, and have one last group meal.
We hired a speed boat for the day so we could see Vis, and the blue caves on Biševo.
Leaving Korčula Island behind us, we arrived on Hvar ready to continue exploring. Just there wasn't that much to see…
There was nothing else to see, so we took a public bus across the island to see Vela Spilja - just above the town of Vela Luka.
After seeing everything Dubrovnik had to offer we moved on to Korčula's old town, visiting Ston and the Matusko Winery along the way.
On our first full day in the country, we filled the day with sightseeing in the old town to make sure we'd seen as much as possible. Everywhere we went there were ghosts of Game of Thrones…
An early start turned into a long day, but with fun sightseeing around the old town in Dubrovnik.
