| The battering roaring blast of the Bora |
Our continued exploration of Croatia get rather blown off track by the Bora, a cold blustery wind that blows out of the interior and across the Dalmation coast. It started blowing in Baška and 12 days later, down at Paklenica it was still roaring - they say wind can drive you mad - they may well be right. Unsure of how long it might blow for or how widespread it might me, be we decided on a rethink - and Kalymnos in November came out top of the list of Plan Bs.
Initially we thought about driving, or flying from Croatia but both were problematic especially as we would probably be trying to do the return journey in December. After a lot of mulling we decided the easiest option was to head back to the UK, get our flu jabs and then jump on one of the many near-empty planes flying down to Kos to bring tourists home at the end of the season.
We have about four weeks left in Schengen in the time up to the middle of January - the current plan is to spend them in Kalymnos then relocate to Cyprus - which like Croatia has a separate 90 day limit. We have never been to Cyprus so that is a plus, the winters are mild and there is some climbing - that almost sounds like a plan.
