Heidi & Richard Bendel's travels

6 August, 06

After a wholesome breakfast at our pension we headed to the Skocjanske Caves. Not to be missed! Beautiful stalagmite and stalactite formations and they are special because they have an underground gorge running through them unlike any other caves. They are 200m deep and the river flows all the way to Hungary.
We left the caves and headed for Hrvatska (Croatia). Border control went well but yes, they did analyze my passport again.
We drove to the island of Krk and a few people told us to head for Baska, the furthest spot on the island. We struggled to find accommodation but we found an ‘apartment’ last minute. They were very friendly people but it was a simple room and not very comfortable. Very basic! It is a bustling little place packed with tourists and totally overcrowded. However, it was beautiful and had the most amazing beach, except for the pebbles. We had an awesome dinner in one of the restaurants on the promenade and then finished the meal off with a decadent chocolate crepe from a street vendor.
