    Hi there folks,
    Hehe, we are off and running! Had a nice start on this adventure "High Road to China". To start with we took off from LIPV San Nicolo, Italy Adriatic Pond(Sea) to LDRO Otocac, Croatia. All the time wondering if our passports are going to clear the agents at the airport, heard that they were real tough. Added is a picture of the flight preparing to take off, but if you noticed Willy's bird wasn't in the line up, Hehe He and his bird were still in the hanger, so we started giving him a bad time about being late because he was cleaning the white wall tires on the Avia.

    I was just fine on the ground!. When the airport manager came to collect fees I explained the other two were hovering 50 feet above to avoid the parking charges. He handed back my Canadian passport and drove off, muttering something about "Yan..e to..ists".

    Brac is interesting... besides the wine, olives and fall colours, it was the source of "its precious white stone which was used in building Diocletian's Palace in Split and the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Very widespread is also the claim that it was used in the White House in Washington, D.C."
