Well Crispy won the day. Its our last day in Krk before moving off tomorrow for Split further down the Dalmation coast. Its going to get a bit busy again for the next couple of days. Tomorrow we board a 12 seater aeroplane from the island for a 1 hour flight to split. It was a lot easier than a very long bus journey and no difference in price. Crispy has never been on a light aircraft before and is looking forward to it.
Because we are moving off again in the morning we afforded ourselves another lazy day. The day was spent sitting on a "beach" warching the sun make its daily journey across the heavens. It was very nice and we are both completely chilled as a result of it. After a day doing nothing it was back for a shower and a quick browse of the interweb to make sure Croation airlines hadn't pulled the same stunt as German wings and cancelled the flight at the eleventh hour. They hadn't and we are due to take off 20 minutes earlier than expected.
A quick shower and Crispy again donned a posh frock and we were once again promonading into the old town for Dinner.
We ate at the same restaurant as last night as they seem to be the only one switched onto Crispys special needs. It was a lovely meal and we got chatting to a very nice Dutch couple sat opposite us. We started the conversation in German but they said they prefer to speak English when at all possible. As my German is only ok it suited me. I mention languages as it was this subject that brought the conversation around to subject of France and the French. My thoughts on the French are well known within my inner circle. I cannot abide them. It was a comfort to learn that the Dutch feel the same way. We have never, ever met anyone in all our travels that likes or even tolerates the French. There has to be a good reason for that. All the French that we have ever met have only served to strengthen our opinion. Rude, obnoxious and opinionated.
In my opinion we have not been at war with France for 1000 years for nothing. I personally see no good reason why we should stop now. My Grandad (who was a very wise man) always advocated that we should build a wall around France and flood it. Turn it into something useful like a harbour for the rest of the continent. I agree.
Crispy would love to visit Paris but I would rather remove my own eyes with a rusty spoon than conceed to this request. I even begrudge flying through their airspace when going adventuring.
Rant over.....,,..,,,,,,
Tomorrow is a busy day and we are looking forward to going back to Split. Split is gorgeous, so much so that Dioclesian, the roman emperor, built his retirement home there. There should be loads of rubble to entertain dear old Crispy. We spent a couple of hours there last year so we think we have the "lay of the land" and look forward to having a bit more time to mooch around before catching a boat for Dubrovnik.
Bare and Crispy signing off for the last time, Krk, an island in Croatia.
