Krk Island and Istria

We lingered longer in Krk Island than expected but it is a rather laid back place like most Islands I guess. Just beach, bars and camp sites and souvenir shops of course The old town at Krk was a bit dissappointing but we have done so many nice old towns already in Italy. Its also the destination for most of the coach trips and where the pirate boats etc are touting for business. Punat where we stayed 4 nights was much nicer and enjoyed a lovely position on a large bay with a huge marina. The camp site was near the entrance to the bay so we could watch the yachts and launches going out for the day and we had some good sunny weather for a change. It was good stroll into the village to shop or simply stroll. Baskra and Istra Baskara on the southern tip have suberb view to the other isands and mountains on the mainland. Istria and Krk are very much German holiday playgrounds, about 90% with maybe 5% Austrian. No English newpapers till August (!) and not many English. This is the furthest East we will get this trip.
