Arrived in croatia

Good morning! It's 8am in Croatia and I'm lying in bed listening to the world unfurl around me before I go to start my day!

Yesterday I met up with this week's winner Sarah and her dad Peter who will be joining me for this weekends adventure at the Garden Festival near Zadar. We boarded our short flight (only two hours) in the baking London heat, and soon after were flying over hundreds of small islands as we came into land in Croatia. The sun was setting over the coast and as we drove to our hotel we watched the countryside views emerge - mountains and rocky hills and pine trees and sea all glowing in the orange sunset.

By the time we were settled and ready to eat it was pitch black outside and we walked along the seafront (in the dark under stars) to a little restaurant by the water for a late dinner. Lit by bulbs hanging from trees and serving local freshly caught fish, it was an amazing little place and we soaked it all up.

Sarah works with young children and Peter is a retired policeman and we had nice long chats into the night.

Today however - the music begins! And after breakfast (and a top to toe coverage of suncream), we are going to wander along the coast to the festival and have ourselves a Croatian adventure :)

Merry Saturday
