I didn’t plan on posting another update today. However, I’ve found some free wifi, and we’ve also been treated to the most random acts of generosity!
A Croatian man, who doesn’t speak a word of English, keeps coming up to us throughout the day with ever nicer food parcels.
It started with a few apples. He then glided in a little later with chicken, pork and a slab of bread. Then there was a delivery of lava cake…and just now, we’ve had a delivery of donuts!!
Who this man is, we do not know (he literally floats in on the breeze, and is carried away with it just as quickly!). I can only imagine that he has guessed what it is we’ve been up to, and has taken pity upon us.
Either way, it’s a really nice thing for someone to do – and though he will almost certainly never read this, we are extremely grateful!!
Being treated to such generosity by absolute strangers – this is literally what the trip is all about. Thank you Croatia for churning out so many good spirited people!!

Is the free food service still in operation – what a star!
Yep…he delivered yet more food the next day. I wish I could have learnt more about him – but as he didn’t speak English, and was always in a hurry to get back to swimming, we couldn’t glean anything more from him!
I hope there are more experiences like this one in store…it’s a great lift!
Wow that’s amazing! Have you ever seen him or does he just leave you food parcels?
We finally managed to track him down the following day (he gave us yet another food parcel!). We tried to thank him with a bottle of wine…but he refused owing to him never having drank in 60 years. He also doesn’t smoke and clearly has a plentiful supply of food – so we simply thanked him profusely instead !
