Dugi Rat, Croatia: 22 August 2016
Day 53



 Today we drove south to Makarska.  The scenery along the way is simply spectacular.  Each beach view is better than the one before and the farther south we go the rocks seems to get more severe.  It was easy to see that there is simply no soil at all above the tree-line.  We are checking out several of these sea-side beaches for when re return.  In all of the towns, most of the roads are really steep and parking is extremely limited but when you get down to the beach, it was all worthwhile.  I thought I liked the looks of Brela until we got closer to see that it was just too crazy.  We still need to check on Krvavica and Mala Luka.

The inland route back from Makarska led us through an ecological preserve.  We wound our way down to the river and found the point where many of the rafting boats launch.  After a bit of exploring we headed back to the car.  We passed several stands when individuals were selling their local olive oils, wine and fruit.  We've passed on the oils and wines, but I can't pass the figs.  They are so juicy, so sweet and so good!
