Photo diary: Cres

Last summer, or more exactly late summer, we managed to get away again for a few days to the beautiful island of Cres. There is something so calming and fulfilling there that only a few days can completely reset us and refill our batteries. We went camping again to the same camping place as the year before- when something is that good, why change it? The only change was our big new tent which made our stay a bit more comfortable, and a better camera to capture all that simple beauty around us. :) This time we had the luck of catching the most magical sunset from our camp in Osor, and although the photos are pretty nice, it was something special indeed in person. One part of our excitement with Cres is certainly the food- you can't get fresher, bigger or tastier shrimps that the ones caught between the island and Istrian peninsula; or if you're more into meat, famous Cres lamb is something not to miss. For shrimps, I warmly recommend Bistro Melin in the city of Cres, and for the lamb Konoba Bukaleta in the countryside, where you can also taste some exceptional local sweets! The beach beneath Lubenice was as beautiful as we left it the year before, only the sea was crispier and fresh September wind was kind of announcing that summer was almost over. I'm hoping to go back again this year, as few days on Cres have sort of become essential part of our summer. I decided that this was going to be a photo diary post so I'm leaving you to some bits and pieces we captured along the way.
