Last full day in Korcula

Last day of relaxation!
Euan and I walked into town, about 1.5 kms to get exercise, but by the time Euan was ready it was very hot!
About 5 am would be the ideal time! Still it’s very attractive. We had a bit of a look for a jewellery shop I had wanted to visit. For a small place, it has about a dozen! I think I must have got my islands muddled up, or it has closed up. No problem, bought food from Konzume, to which we add ‘Dam you’! This is the Croatian chain, with a monopoly, especially for tourists, we suspect. Korcula now has a couple of larger supermarket The trek home wasn’t any cooler or flatter🤣
Lunch and a swim. More people at our little beach, which is over the road from our apartment.
Taxi and dinner booked for 6pm. No idea why Marija stipulated this hour. The restaurant belongs to her brother & sister in law and is about 5 km away in the hills surrounded by a small hamlet. Lots of gardens, small vineyards etc. the garden was looking great. Huge tomatoes, aubergines, etc. They grow all their own produce etc.
Lucy & I had their seafood platter to share. Very nice, fish straight from the sea on the opposite coast. Korcula is only about 4ks wide and 50 kms long. Octopus very tender, prawns and sea bream etc. We were persuaded to order starters, veg, etc. I think it is called ‘up-selling’. It turned out to be our most expensive meal yet!! Home for a cuppa!Read more
