Happy Hotel

Here we are.

A terrific flight and first day in Croatia. Lapad to be exact. A small place just outside the old town of Dubrovnik.

Absolutely stunning.

Our last two holidays have been private affairs in that we've missed out travel agents, conducted our own research and made the bookings ourselves.

I doubt I've saved money, well to the extent of some the porkies people tell about how they managed to get a family of four to the same hotel for the price of a single night' stay in a Blackpool BnB.

All rubbish.

We've discovered a wee bit of freedom in that hotels can be booked to the style wanted rather than what tied-in agents suggest.

Adults only is in fact adults only, with no carefully air-brushed-out-of-the-photo-collage paddling pool.

Where I am today is heaven.
