Land Ahoy!!

Last week we moved to Marusici which  is an hour out of Split on the Omis Riviera . We have two houses one for the kids and one for the adults. The kids house has two bedrooms a bathroom and a sitting room.  Our house is perched on a Mountain leading down to the Adriatic Sea. We have spectacular views of the ocean. 

Two days ago we went to the town of Omis which was a town that had pirates in it in the 19th century. We climbed up an old pirate fort I was the only one who made it to the top. Everyone else was too scared . 

We are going rafting up the river tomorrow. We all need to row. It will be hard work because we are going against the flow not down it.

We have had some really bad weather. Here is the forecast rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.......... It is even snowing in some places and it summer in a few weeks!

We are going to watch the new Star Trek in a few days. It only came out a few days ago. After the movie  we are going to go and have dinner at Mc Donald's

Last Week In Brač!

Last weekend mum came home from Zagreb. We met her at Supertar ferry terminal and had burgers and čevapi (sausage in a bun) by the sea for dinner.  Mum got me a Croatian badge for my scout backpack.

A few days after, a babysitter named Sanja came to babysit us.  Eliza went crazy. She started hitting Sanja and running around the house with her knickers on her head.

On our last weekend we went to 3 different beaches on Brač.  We went to Bol for a swim at Zlatni Rat, Sumartin and Sutivan.  On the last night in Sutivan we went to the best restaurant. I got fresh grilled calamari.  When mum chose her fresh fish (from a platter of fish that was caught that morning) Eliza said, "I will stab fish in eye like this" and she stabbed herself


in the eye and started crying.

Yesterday we moved to a new house called Villa Danica on the mainland.

Last week we went on a boat to Split so we could visit an international park called Plitvice.    There were so many awesome crystal clear waterfalls and caves. The signs all say WATCH OUT FOR BEARS. Mum and dad gave us lots and lots of lollies because we had to walk 24 km in two days. We stayed in two houses over the four nights away.

On the way back to Brac mum caught a bus to Zagreb to visit her friend Bo. Dad had to look after all of us and looking after Eliza is a VERY hard job. Soon after we got home we went and got the best ice-creams. I got one that is rum flavoured!

Yesterday we went to a farm. There were so many different animals like pigs, sheep, cows, peacocks, geese and horses. We had had a ride on the ponies. Josie screamed and refused to get on.

Wednesday, Jack Day, Friday

Yesterday was Jack day . Me and dad went to Split (the main land.)  

On the ferry I threw a bottle with a note in it in the water. It said "THIS BOTTLE WAS THROWN IN TO THE ADRIATIC SEA OFF THE COAST OF BRAČ BY JACK SLEE AGED NINE ON THE 2/5/13. IF FOUND PLEASE EMAIL 

jackineurope2013@gmail.com. I COME FROM PERTH, AUSTRALIA."

When we arrived in Split we climbed up the bell tower and got the best view. I brought my binoculars so I could see everything close up. Next we went to a cafe and I got a Sprite and dad got a cafe Macchiato.  I stole some of it.  

Then we went to an AWESOME sailing museum. It was all  about the boats that were in the "Home" war. There were guns, torpedoes, rockets and land mines on display. Some land mines are still in the forests of Split.
For lunch I ordered an octopus salad cooked I wine and dad got some fish stew it was delicious! For a drink dad ordered a beer and I got an ice tea.

Then we went for a walk Diocletian Palace and saw a headless sphinx imported from Egypt in 500 BC. Afterwards we we went to the markets to get a snorkel and goggles. Dad also bought me T-shirt that said "Pirates From Croatia." Then we got some fruit and veg and caught a ferry back to Brač.

I can't wait to go to Split again!!!
