The Caravan Club The Riviera Touch Grand Tour Croatia

Well its all been a little more crazy than normal since we hit Croatia. On Thursday we arrived at king Korana. The area was totally amazing when we could see it through the mud and rain! We would have coped OK but all the other campsites in the area were flooded and came to this one..I have only ever seen anything like this at a motorhome show!

Now if all that lot wasn't bad enough sharing our four toilets and showers in came two coach hotels!

Madness! I expected a load of teenagers to get out of these bus/hotel things but it was full of German pensioners! Enough was enough and a quick call to East Grinstead to advise them of the conditions and we were away ( after a lovely meal of course!) 

Travelling down to camping Galeb was horrendous. It was like 2007 all over again. Storm after storm. We tried putting fuel in the car but all the fuel stations were without electricity! It was all pretty scarey with flooding everywhere. When we got to camping Galeb it was still raining and some of their pitches were flooded but they soon dried up and the sun came out. We found ourselves in a stunning location.

I went to the restaurant to organise an extra meal for us all as after a drive like that there was no way that I was cooking. I was instantly led astray by the Croatians and finished up joining a wedding party! They are mad! They have a party before the bride goes to church as well as a long one afterwards! I don't know what the drink was but it was very nice! Hospitable and very friendly HIC ( I'd only gone to organise a meal!)

OK so the meal was fun thanks to our lack of language skills and it became a fun game of lucky dip! You got literally what you were given! Some of the wedding party spotted me and we gate crashed the wedding party!

Oops us geriatrics behaving badly! They wouldn't let us pay for a single drink. They were such lovely friendly people. It was absolutely great fun. Good luck to the very happy couple ( whoever you are!)

The following morning the sun was out and we have a slightly different scene with members if our group!

Many of us finished the day with a swim in the sea. It was hard to believe it is the sea. It didn't have any waves! It was salty but more like a lake and then just for a change....

Had I not already told you that I had spent the afternoon swimming I could have told you that I spent all afternoon preparing this! Any wonder how much weight I've put on?! Its a real mucky job! The food was spectacular but unlucky for us no one else was getting married! 

Through the night there were even more storms. I suspect the washing didn't dry but its a chill out day and getting organised for our boat trips tomorrow. Croatia is definitely the place for wedding parties. Now where's Villa Black when you need her urgently?! http://www.kamp.galeb.hr/default.aspx?id=40
