    Dubrovnik to Hvar

    October 6, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We did a little boat trip which was great and went around the Island too. Interesting hearing the history and local experience. eg the Beltina cave that Marin Getaldić did experiments in - he was around in 1500’s - a mathematician and physicist.. He had a telescope before Newton’s discovery and contributed a lot to geometry. He worked with spherical mirrors etc from the cave and was accused of wizardry.
    Leaving the Old Town for greater Dubrovnik… it’s just a beautiful little city. About 41,000 population, very clean, negligible crime, picturesque, sun 300 days a year and mild climate - could live there!
    So many super yachts…..
    We then jump on a ferry (catamaran) and to Hvar. Well…. Forget Dubrovnik now - this is just off the charts gorgeous. The sea here too is so clean, it’s all so beautiful and there are way less tourists! Our little apartment is to die for.
