Hot, hot, hot!!

Well we have arrived in beautiful Croatia. Soooo hot. Average mid 30's temp. We are staying in Brist, which is coastal beach village. Beautiful views of the sea and a very pretty village. Lots of tourists come to stay at Brist. Scott's side of the family are from here and his parents have done up the old family home. My family are from Komin, which is a 20 minute drive inland. It's a village that runs along the Neretve river. Both sets of parents are here at the moment too so very helpful with communicating with family. Can understand and speak some but certainly not fluent!! We have been going back and forth to visit family and friends which has been lovely. Kids are loving it. Especially Brist as every morning when they wake up they just walk down the path to the beach for their first swim of the day.

Setting off flares in Komin while watching the Komin boat rowers row by in the annual race through many towns. Around 40 teams from around Croatia and also other countries. They row for 22.5km. They usually win but alas second this year.
