What a lovely day!!!
I’d been to Krka before but wanted to show my parents and partner, so was happy to return as it’s stunning, and am so glad I chose this trip.
Firstly, it was a small group so more personal. Secondly, it left early, so you beat the crowds - and the heat!!
Our driver Emmanuel (I hope that’s right?) was great. He got the whole group introduced and chatting en route, dished out facts and tips for the local and surrounding area and was an all round nice guy.
As said, Krka is beautiful, if you’re interested in it, you’ve seen the photos already, I can’t say much more. Other than get there early to avoid the crowds!!
So, after Krka, we had lunch at a small holding in a small village somewhere - again, away from the crowds (I think most all do the same thing in a local town). Met with 3 types of homemade rakia. Absolutely lovely! Then lunch with free flowing onsite wine, followed by a little tour of the farmers land where you are invited to eat his grapes, figs, olives, anything!
Then it’s off to his little cellar where his white, red and rose wine are brewing, his prosciutto ham is maturing and he stands proud as punch.
Then Sibinek for a stop off on the way home. I’ll be honest, it’s just another little Croatian town ticked off for me. It looked ok and I couldn’t explore as much as I normally would as my dad had walked a lot in the heat, and isn’t used to drinking wine and rakia :)
I don’t to many organised trips, this one I absolutely loved!!
Thank you guys!!!
