Thursday 11 June: CRES

A short entry today as we didn't do very much! At least we allowed ourselves to do what most people do on their holidays and lie on the beach all day: reading, sunbathing and swimming. We started with a modest breakfast at the restaurant below our room and then walked down into Cres town to buy provisions and wander around the old town - pleasant marbelled streets, old Venetian style architecture and old churches with domes and frescoes. I buy a sun hat. We then cycle round to the beach we were at yesterday afternoon having got used to the FKK ( Flabby Knobs and Knockers! ) We are both reading good books so no need for conversation (bliss!) An occasional front crawl out to the swimming boundary and back and that's it, bit of picnic lunch under the trees and then our beer with a view. Maybe not so well deserved today. Home to cool off on the balcony. We think we will eat at our restaurant below tonight as I feel sorry for them and we have just seen two guests arriving. Stop press they have sat down looked at the menu and left. We have a dilemma.... I'm afraid we dont go and follow advice from Trip Advisor instead finding ourselves in a pretty nasty spot out side of the old town and I am looking at a car park. We are surrounded by Germans and Italians so at least we're not on our own. We have some Sea Bass and spinach washed down with a jug of local Merlot. It is okay but nothing to write home about. Perhaps we have missed a treat, albeit a lonely one, at our local Konoba!
