Croatia  - July 2009

Ho hum. Same old mediterranean paradise as usual, in the family beach house!
This year the boys' Spanish cousin Adela came to visit. We then escaped to the idyllic island of Mljet (historic Mileta, where Odysseus took a seven year break on his travels) for a few days.

Why can't we have a yacht like that?

Dubrovnik Old Town is great for swimming and diving - we ducked through a hole in the wall and found a café and jumping spot...
