_____________________________The mock Spanish galleon (top right) was thought to be there to ferry trippers between the seafront and the nearby island of Sveti Nikola. However, as it turned out, it actually took people on longer excursions around the coastline. Unfortunately, Captain Pugwash (Jan) felt unable to try out her sea legs throughout the holiday, so we didn't go anywhere like that.
Oi! Biggles! Tell them why we went all the way to and from Croatia by coach, and not by aeroplane. I'll give you 'Captain Pugwash'! XXX Jan.
Oh, very well! I had an insurmountable fear of flying (until I flew to Greece in 2007) not helped at the time by returning to our hotel room one evening, switching on the CNN channel on satellite, and watching in horror as the events of September 11th., 2001, were played out in front of our eyes. Our thoughts went out to the relatives of those who perished.
