After two enjoyable days we left Draga and drove south to Split on the Dalmation coast, a journey of five hours. Croatia joined the EU recently and we made excellent progress on their new and fairly empty motorway (blue dot to red dot on the map). We passed through some beautiful countryside, green hills dotted with bright terracotta roofs, giving way to tunnels and mountains, topped with a little snow. We drove through a National Park, passing lakes and mountains where we spotted roadside warning signs showing an image of a bear and a wolf but, fortunately no corporal sightings!
