Today we traversed the rest of Krk and took a ferry to Rab Island. Despite its diminutive siye Krk proved to be exceedingly steep. As we crossed its seemingly endless hills we surveyed a harsh, rocky landscape studded with stunted trees. Smells of wild thyme and an unidentified curry scented plant wafted on the wind. After a last hard earned summit, and a glorious sweep downhill towards the coast, we arrived at the ferry ticket office where they kindly radioed down to hold the ferry for us and we sped down the rest of the hill just in time to board. After a 45min crossing we disembarked on Rab Island and found the nearest campsite. Even bigger and more crowded then the last, but thankfully with more shade, the campsite resembled a small town with bar, restaurant and loads of shops including a butchers. It also had its own sandy beach which we headed to gratefully for another dip in the sea
