Primosten - Fond farewell and time running out

Everywhere we go in Croatia the ports are jacked, the towns are ancient modern, the place is spotless and it is expensive. Hard to get used to that bit. Primosten is no different although we did jag a wall mooring once again, the Marinero (new name for guy who works the marina) even over turned a 'Reserved' sign so we could moor.... We pleaded for a spot for the McAuliffe's but to no avail, they arrived a little later and had to be content with a buoy out in the bay which meant their dingy had to come down.....again.

Dannie found the place to eat that night and if I remember rightly, the kids got pizza and a movie while their parents went to the Mediterrani. Great pick for a restaurant, another, all be it more sedate night with our new yachting buddy's. We assume Jake was relieved he only had his family to get to bed by dingy.

There was a dingy incident however, the girls did decide to take the dingy for a spin, got half way around to the beach and the engine conked. They did manage to get it going again but it was now a long way from home... No worries, Jake will fix it! "you coming Greg?"

Only a couple of things about this spot I've not come across...

An amazing cemetery with amazing views,














bronze sculptures which I liked, shame about the lighting.



























and waterside benches that are solar powered recharge stations.

Otherwise a couple more shots of the town itself although you might find yourself thinking..."haven't I seen that shot before...?"

























The McAuliffe's brought breakfast in the morning, Jake having promised to show us how to make perfect poached eggs. They also arrived with armfuls of fresh bread and pastries. Yumm and guys.

The eggs were indeed perfect and the secret.....? Well I can keep those.

By 11:00 they were gone, four very sad kids still getting the hang of saying goodbye.
