Krissy is Here

 Charlie repainted the railing on the second floor balcony as the white paint was all messed up and coming off. It took a while to complete this job but now it looks fantastic. And Kristina has arrived in Maslenica. The first thing on the list was go to the beach and try out the water which of course is cold at first and then she got into it. We had a good swim and as we've got used to, we went to the cafe for a cool drink. It was a nice evening so we enjoyed a chat on the balcony. So happy to have Krissy here.

Obrovac Part 2

 When we came to another destroyed building there was a little black kitten in the window just looking around and waiting for someone to notice her. She was very friendly and was begging for some loving which we gave her. Not sure if she's any relation to the bigger black cat we first saw where we had the coffee. Anyway, eventually we wondered off and so did she. When we got back to Maslenica we went for a swim, and below is Krissy in Zagreb. 

Coffee in Obrovac

We were in Obrovac for coffee before, but this time it was a coffee and a walk around town. Getting to Obrovac involves driving by this amazing view of Velebit Mountains. We come to where the Novigrad Sea narrows into Zrmanja River, and that's where Obrovac lives. The river runs right through it. Local kitties quickly greeted us. In town square are old buildings that had seen better times. Before the early 1990's war one of the buildings housed commercial offices and a bar called Caffee Bar Pariz. After the town was repossessed by the Croatian soldiers, in Operation Storm or Operacija Oluja in August 1995, the cafe was renamed Caffe Bar Oluja in memory of the liberation. During the conflict the building was shelled and damaged, but burned down in March 2025. Town of Obrovac is investing in general renevations of the town. On another note please note below the neat and tidy swallow nests.
