Highs and lows in the Balkans
The Adriatic was like a millpond as Jadrolinija’s vessel, the Dubrovnik, ferried us overnight from Bari. We arrived early in a sunny Dubrovnik and drove straight to Camping Solitudo, part of a hotel group, complete with restaurants, bars, shops and its own beaches occupying a headland, a short bus ride from town.

Back to Cambridge
Our latest trip was a return to Cambridge. At the risk of being drummed out of the brownies we stayed at the C&CC site as Cherry Hinton was full.
