Korčula

Today we explored Korčula more! First it was a wander through a nature preserve in the middle of the island that had lots of rocks to find your way through - the trail there and back was through town or countryside with nice views, but the nature reserve was a mess of trails and plants and bugs! It was fun, but not my favorite rocks we have explored. We ran into 2 other groups of hikers, both groups lost and couldn’t figure out how to get out! Luckily we were able to follow the trail I had found and it wasn’t bad, but yeah if you didn’t have that it is very easy to get lost in there!

Then we headed to Korčula old town for lunch and to explore. It is a pretty tiny town, but some fun narrow streets to explore (and treats to eat!). It was so hot in the sun, but once we got to the water in town it was so windy it was chilly! We ended up back at our place early enough for a swim and some pool time! It was cold, but the sun was warm so it worked out (but still couldn’t stay in forever). While at the pool the house martins kept sweeping down to get some water which was fun to watch! And Raymond had to keep saving beetles that got stuck on their back and bees that got stuck in the water. Speaking of beetles they love me! They keep landing on me while we are wandering, especially in my hair, and today we kept seeing them on these pink flowers and Raymond was like maybe that’s why they like you! They think your hair is this flower? Maybe! Who knows, but they do seem to love me. We also saw these black and white butterflies that looked blue in the sun! And all the fun bugs!

We are staying near the water and I thought we were on the wrong side of the island to see the sunset, but we are not! So we went down to the water to watch and it was pretty nice. Tomorrow on to the next adventure!Leggi altro
