Three Weeks In Paradise. 2. Arrival in Trogir

Finally, we made it safely to Trogir on Monday early afternoon. The last part of the journey was a steep descent from the coastal mountains to the sea. Then just skirting the medieval centre of Trogir and across a bridge to the island of Čiovo where the marina is located.
Just as we were about to enter the narrow street leading to our destination, it was end of shift at the shipyard next to the marina. In a matter of seconds, a quiet street turns into mayhem as thousands of workers try to leave work at once.
Eventually the stream of cars stopped and we were able to drive into the marina and place Mekicevica under the crane to be put on the water next day.

Finally in Trogir marina, under the crane and ready for lift-off.

We still have to get (and pay for) the permit to sail. In stark contrast to all the descriptions of the very strict Croatian authorities, we came across a very friendly harbour-master and the whole process went really smoothly.

Finally in holiday mood.

Only we were left with little time to explore the beautiful city of Trogir, a pearl among the Venetian coastal towns. Never mind, we will have to come the same way in three weeks.
