• Split to Hvar and back to Split

    July 22, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    Up with the larks and after a quick brekkie it was off in a Bolt taxi to the ferry port in Split for the boat to Hvar.
    Although it wasn't possible/allowed to go out on deck for the trip, it was nice to dodge the other little sailing 'dingies' as we arrived at Hvar harbour.
    Blimey, it's as busy as Split - full of bloody tourists.
    (Oh, that must be me as well on this trip.)
    At least it wasn't as hot today, which made the walk up the hillside to the Fortress a bit less like hard work. Good views though.
    Back down in Hvar old town it was good to get pleasantly lost down the snickers and ginnels.
    Back in Split, finding a restaurant that wasn't ridiculously priced for the well-heeled tourists wasn't easy, but we managed eventually. The ice cream wasn't half-bad too.
    All this joining in with the tourist hoi polloi is a bit nackering though.
    Another Bolt taxi got us back to the apartment to rest awhile and pack for tomorrow's drive to Dubrovnik - just a 2 1/2 hour hop n' a skip down the coast.
