We are once more on the move. Crispy was starting to get settled in Krk.
She has already started surging the interweb looking for new curtains and saying things like " that wall would look lovely in cream". Its time to move on.
Today we had to get to Rijeka airport which luckily for us is on Krk island.
Unluckily for us there are no buses that run there from our side of the island. It meant asking the bus driver to drop us off on the main road closest to the terminal and walking the 2 kilometres with our packs. It was hot today and we hadn't gone 50 meters up the road when we started to sweat under the heat of the direct sun. There was no shade and it was all uphill. Crispy was nearing the point of collapse and started saying things"leave me here, save yourself, always remember.....I love you" when an airport worker in a minibus stopped and offered us a lift.
5 minutes and we were outside the terminal building. Its small. Think Barton aerodrome but on a really sunny day. No people, no screaming kids, no package tourists. It is my perfect way to fly. The main waiting area is a big outside terrace complete with bar.
After a few moments the plane arrived and we were boarding.
Crispy has never flown on a light aircraft before and was looking forward to the experience. I was looking forward to her experiencing turbulence in a itlle aeroplane. She did not disappoint me. Her face was a picture as our little airfix model bumped and bounced its way down the coast.
She loved it. Within one hour we were in Split and had avoided, by the means of powered flight, a full days bus journey. Result.
A short bus ride from the airport had us at the main harbour in the city.
We visited Split last year and spent a few hours here so we know the basic layout of the place. As such it was no real hardship to find our accomodation for the night.
