PRIMOSTEN TO TROGIR (30 miles) Breakfast with Dolphins

We wake to the beautiful sea view from our balcony and enjoy our inclusive breakfast on the terrace above the pool. We are excited to see 3 or 4 dolphins not too far away in the bay. We set off on the main coast road and I don my helmet feeling rather anxious. In fact the road is not busy and hugs the coast for some time with spectacular views. Simon then navigates us off the main road on a detour to Rogoznica where we find a delightful spot with shingle beach and concrete swimming steps and we swim in the crystal clear water. We manage to wile away an hour or so reading before hitting the road again. The next detour is not so successful and involves a lot of uphill cycling (and even worse, steep downhills) and once again, my navigator claims that the map bears no resemblance to the terrain so we have no idea where we are! Anyway, we find some sea to swim in and a picnic spot so morale is maintained. We manage to get back to the coast road and cruise into Trogir which really does feel a bit like coming home. We get back to Guesthouse Bakica and find ourselves not in our original room as we had expected but in an amazing apartment with a terrace overlooking Trogir. This view alone must be worth a fortune. Rain is forecast but infact we sit enjoying a glass of white wine in the sunshine crossing our fingers. We eat at Konoba TRS again. I have a delicious Octopus Carpaccio and Simon enjoys more clams. Fresh fish to follow and a bottle of Babic from Primosten. Our last evening - what an amazing adventure we have had. We get back to our apartment just in time to watch the impressive thunderstorm that had been predicted: spectacular lightening forks lighting up Trogir.
