Four of us hired a car from Trieste (cheap flights and drove through Slovenia, into Croatia and down the coast with 2 tents. We stopped at a supermarket on the way and bought a cast iron barbeque for £5. We then toured the coast, stayed on Brac, as well as inland to Plitvice national parks - all stunningly beautiful and rounded off by a barbeque under the stars every night.

It’s a great way to explore the country - all the campsites are cheap and of a consistently high standard and there is so much to see. Barbeque fodder is readily available as Croatian restaurants are not really up to Italian standards.

Highlights: Bol beach, Plitvice lakes, the weather and the Venetian town of Sibenik.

Lowlights - torrential rain and the temperature diving from 30C to 1C on the last night; getting lost in a minefield.
