It was a somewhat disturbed night with violent, squally winds causing Henrietta to buck like a wild horse at one moment and then the wind died down to nothing the next moment. This continued all night and well into this afternoon, although thankfully there was no rain during the day.
We are meeting our very good friends, Ann and Nick, in Dubrovnik on Sunday and intended to make our way there today or tomorrow. However, given the rugby / satellite TV crisis and the fact that their fight does not arrive until the afternoon, we have decided to stay at Stobrec until Sunday morning. This will allow us to go to the rugby bar in Split to watch the match on Saturday evening. I am now at peace with the world knowing that we will be able to watch the match!
We walked around to the other side of the bay, sometimes blown by the wind and other time battling against it. The view over to Stobrec was very good, the rain and wind having cleared the air. In the afternoon we drove the short distance south to Omis and up the gorge of the Cetina river. We also attempted to fill our gas tank that we use for water heating, blown-air heating and cooking. The system, made by Gaslow, allows the gas cylinder to be refilled at fuel stations that supply Autogas. You simply plug the pump into a socket on the body of the van and push a button to fill it up. We found a station that had Autogas but the pump was out of order. The next station that had supplies is 25 km further south, so it will have to wait until we go to Dubrovnik.

I am Really enjoying the Odyssey. Trying to follow your progress using my Collins Atlas of the World but as it shows only the major towns I got somewhat lost in the Slovenia / Croatia / Slovenia crossings.
Best wishes to Ann and Nick when you see them
Thanks for the pictures - they look good. Hope Ann and Nick enjoy themselves. Not T shirt weather here - too cold in the mornings when I go to work!!
Glad to hear you're both having fun!! The scenery looks stunning.
Thought of you at the weekend whilst watching the rugby. Are you joining us on the 20th December??
