We left Zaostrog on Sunday for a site in Orebic on the Peljesac peninsular about 50 miles north of Dubrovnik. Strangely, whilst travelling down the coast road we had to drive through a 10 mile stretch of Bosnia, it must have been a deal when the old Yugoslavia was divided to give the Bosnians a piece of coast, but it was decidedly odd having our passports checked at border patrol then having them checked again 15 minutes later as we left the country again! By the way, it didn't really look much different to Croatia which is not surprising!
When we arrived at the site we chose our pitch set on the hillside overlooking a beautiful sea view, but the best pitches were already occupied. We settled in and soon started to explore our new area going out on a boat trip to a nearby island - Kercula - the birthplace of the intrepid traveller Marco Polo, while we were there I managed to persuade Keith, who doesn't like heights, to go up the church bell tower, the view was well worth the climb up a tiny stone spiral staircase to the top.
When we got back to the site we noticed the best pitch was free so we swiftly moved across and here we are again - best pitch, best view across the bay! Not only that but we have had glorious weather here since we arrived so we've really had a chance to enjoy the fantastic views.
Another wonderful sunset...
