The Island of Krk is just a 30 minute drive from our city over a very long bridge. In the summer families love to camp on the Island and enjoy swimming and sunnier weather! Wikipedia says "Archeological finds show that the island has been inhabited without interruption since the Neolithic age."
"The most important early monument of Croatian literacy is the Baška tablet from the late 11th century. It is a large stone tablet found in the small church of St. Lucy on the Croatian island of Krk, containing text written mostly in čakavian, today a dialect of Croatian, and in Croatian Glagolitic script." from the Croatian 101 website
Glagolitic script is"one of three scripts historically used by Croats, along with Croatian Cyrillic and Latin script. Scholars generally believe that the missionaries St. Cyril and St. Methodius invented the Glagolitic alphabet in the 9th century to facilitate the conversion of the Bulgarians and Moravians. The two missionaries essentially created an alphabet based on Slavic sounds and modeled in form after Greek letters." From the Adriatic Times
In January nothing is open on the Island, but neither are there any tourists. It was a beautiful sunny day for January. We had a lot of fun with Sister Taylor and Sister Roberts
