Nice write-up!
Sad I couldn’t join this year. An 8-17 job steals most of your freedom in exchange for some money that you cannot spend on AVGAS because you have to work 
The xmas holiday made it possible for me to spend two days writing up this trip and editing a video of the flight down there

Due to lack of time it is the only trip I have written up for 2019.
The video has most ATC calls and covers the Shoreham – Brac – Tivat journey. It was a rather hazy flight so it was created to be of special interest to new instrument rated pilots.
Restaurants earn the money on drink, food does not contribute a great deal. Fleecing – BS. Try running a restaurant for yourself. I did for 20 years so have some experience.
Restaurants always charge much more for drinks than you could buy them at a supermarket.
Anyway, those who didn’t turn up really missed out. The location was superb and the wx was great most of the time. A really nice even temperature even at night 
I think they call that fine dining. Anyway thanks. Kinda figured that out or at least was hopeful that was the case. They probably have a deal with one of the cruise lines.

High end local wines (really good quality) in normal restaurants are below 20€. These 50€ bottles (talking about Croatia wines on the list) cost in shops in Croatia 15-20€, restaurants get it for lower price. So it’s just fleecing.
That was a high-end restaurant The food there was generally a lot cheaper.

They have some airliner flights nowadays, from curious places like Deauville
Funny, I did come across two TUI airliners at Deauville on the way to Brac Island and Dubrovnik on Saturday 7th
I was told they operate Saturdays in summer, the one for Brac departed at 1030Z probably
Thanks
I cant believe Montenegro locals pony up 50 Euros for a bottle of wine. Unless of course the standard of living is higher than in Germany. Either that or its focused on the tourist trade. I believe the latter is the answer.
It was 6hrs, with 15kt headwind much of the way, and 40kt over the Alps… This was about as far as the TB20 would go, in these conditions, and was possible only with Split being just up the road, loads of alternates before that, and obviously completely crazy to do it without a fuel totaliser.
