Croatian Islands

Croatia has many islands just off its coast.  We visited three of these beautiful and wild islands: Hvar, Korcula, and Mljet.  There are wonderful old towns on these islands, as well as vast wild areas where you can travel for a long time without seeing anyone.  We loved our time on the islands - camping in the car and staying with wonderful people. 








We stayed with a lovely woman and her family in this cute house.  The two American girls who were also staying there cleaned out a large closet for us to sleep in.  It was so sweet and very cozy.




We saved this tortoise from the middle of the road.  He was taking his precious time crossing and we thought it would be better to speed up his progress.
