We took trips to Slano and Ston, both further up the coast, giving us terrific views of the strait between the mainland and the islands and seeing a rather basic salt pan system, the oldest in Europe apparently. The Dalmatian coast is very narrow in the southern area, being only a couple of kilometres wide at times, then it's over the mountain into either Bosnia or Montenegro. There is also a small break of only a few kilometres, towards Split that is Bosnian territory, although there appears to be no port or town there, inexplicably. We didn't go that far as we hadn't set up the car insurance to be able to do so.
The holiday was very relaxing overall, and Daisy can be seen in ultimate relaxation mode by the pool, which probably how we all felt at times!
The daytime temperate was in the low 30s every day, nights in the low 20s, although our last full day was the hottest, as was the evening/night that followed it was higher, disrupting sleep, the skies were clear. It was down to earth to arrive back at Gatwick into fog, heavy rain, spray on the motorway etc, but that's forgotten now that the photos have been looked at again!
