Dinner at Konoba Jakan

 Later that evening we went out to dinner in almost 40C. It was that kind of day, hotter than I could stand, but I joined the others to sit at this very nice restaurant, Konoba Jakan, in a beautiful valley by the mountains. By now tables were in the shade at least and the sun was hanging low. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked in a large metal pot that's placed right inside the coals, like in the old days, and makes everything super soft. We all enjoyed it very much. As we left the sun was just about to set below the horizon, but not before it let out those wonderful sun rays. The last photo are the lights we see every night before we go to sleep, the lights of Novigrad, across from us.

























I'm Here Too

When the heatwave is on there is nothing better than getting into the cold sea to cool off. Though in July the sea got a lot warmer than when we first arrived in May, it is still cool enough so we can keep up with the heat. Kristina enjoyed it as well, and even did some posing for pictures. I'm actually in some photos with my usual blue Croatia hat. My sister got a few of us before she went in. It's nice to see that I was in the water too. We also got a nice selfie together. Mom and Dad were still here at the time, spending time with their granddaughters, and great-grandchildren.

































Photos From Above

 Krissy and her cousin Lindsey and her children have arrived. The first thing on the agenda was... of course... the beach, swimming, jumping and splashing all around. The kids really had a good time and love the water. We spent quite a bit of time there and then later Lindsey used her drone to get some beautiful photos of the area from above during the day and at night time. The town is not very big but it chose to grow on the best part of the coast.
