Got up earlyish (by our standards) and had a light breakfast before getting away at 9.30. Eased out of the capital (not much traffic about) and headed out on the A2 motorway towards Zagreb. Dropped off onto the 105 at Novo Mesto (a great biking road) and after a brief coffee stop at Metlika, passed through the Croatian border. Passports were shown to the unsmiling guard, who was actually quite helpful when I quizzed him about currency. 
Slovenian countryside had been wonderfully green & rolling in the main. Croatia was no less attractive, but it gradually opened out into huge vistas, initially heavily forested then much less so as we approached the Adriatic Coast travelling on the A1 motorway. This is reputedly one of the best motorway drives in Europe. I'd have to agree. We did a 200 mile stretch from Karlovac to Sibenik.
We would have liked to do the coast road from Senj to Zadar, but time wouldn't allow it.
A coffee & ice-cream stop in Sibenik & a visit to the cash point for some Kuna. We had to be satisfied with the 8 from Sibenik to Primosten & ultimately our destination at Marina.
The view from our balcony at Villa Marija & the lounge/kitchenette.
A modern, comfortable apt, although the bathroom did pong a bit 😖
We walked along the footpath beside the sea and into the village around the marina.
Found a nice little restaurant & ate on the rooftop terrace. The whole Sea Bass main was fantastic!
Had a reasonable night, marred by it being sticky warm & being nibbled by mozzies.
