"Do you think we could pitch a tent on your beach?"
"No" came the response. "I think you should sleep downstairs".
We encountered another random act of kindness in Croatia when we were looking for a place to sleep on a beautiful stretch of coastline between Sibenik and Split. We had fallen in love with the turquoise waters and sun bleached rocks of Dolac, having spent a lovely afternoon swimming and reading in the shade of pine trees, so decided to quit cycling for the day and spend the night there.
As it was a small area with houses close by, we wanted to ask permission before pitching our tent. We treated ourselves to a beer at the 'Boxer' bar in Dolac, and mentioned our plans to the owner, who instantly offered us the room where his employees usually sleep. As the season was ending, the room was empty so we could use it to escape from the wind for a night and enjoy the rare treats of electricity and running water. Fresh coffee in the morning was the icing on the cake, as we chatted to the owner and his twin brother.
We would recommend this area, and this bar, to anyone passing through Croatia.
