Korčula continued.

Until 3:30 it had been a free day. As I have a ticklish throat and am feeling a little off colour today we had a restful morning then made the short walk into the old town. We enjoyed a pleasant lunch right at one of the many restaurants in the boulevard that runs along the wall. Then we had a quiet stroll through some of the alleys. I feel for the old and mobility limited residents who have to negotiate so many steep alleys and countless numbers of steps on a regular basis. I could see how tough it was for some. It's not easy for us either just quietly; we come from a very flat suburb in Melbourne!

Late this afternoon we enjoyed a scenic coastal cruise. We passed the old port town of Korčula seeing it from the sea now. We continued past the island of Badija, known for its Franciscan monastery & stone quarries as well as several other islands. Eventually we landed in Lumbarda back on the island of Korčula and made our way to the heart of the oldest settlement on the island. We finished with a home-made dinner in a family-run venue. Back to the mainland tomorrow.Baca selengkapnya
