_____________________________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 have an insurmountable fear of flying - there is no prospect of me ever flying - especially when you get into your hotel room one evening, switch on the CNN channel on satellite, and watch in horror as the events of September 11th., 2001, are played out in front of your eyes. It rather takes the edge off of your holiday, I'm afraid. But that is beside the point - thoughts must lie with the relatives of those who perished.
