Korčula

We headed down to the resort hotel's breakfast buffet first thing, past the harbour beach along the way. It was warm, quite tranquil and fresh out. The restaurant was quiet busy already, and it appeared we arrived as the first group was slowly ebbing out. Of course the automated coffee machines had a significant line. The buffet spread was pretty impressive.

By the time we finished with breakfast, packed, and arrived at the ferry, it was 10am. We just missed the boat, that leaves every hour, on the hour. Though it's not the schedule A had read online 😔. So we dismounted and waited in the shade, as the sun's ray's were roasting! It was only about a 15 minute trip across to Orebic, and in short order we were on the road again.

The highway meandered for a bit following the flat coastline, but eventually headed up the steep hillside. What A thought was a view point we pulled in to was actually the parking area of Andričević Wine Shop. Took a couple of photos and bought a light red bottle of wine for later.

The peninsula definitely appeared drier, and more arid higher up the mountain sides, compared to Korcula. We passed a lot of vineyards and wineries as we rode too. Eventually we zig-zaged our way to the mainland where we made a quick fuel stop, and grabbed a cool drink, it was quiet warm out 🥵. Our route south towards the walled city of Dubrovnik took us higher in to the Dalmatian mountains, boasting some spectacular views of the coastline and area.

With such a narrow panhandle of land, we were never too far from the border with Bosnia and Herzegovinia. Finally winding our way down from the mountain roads, we arrived at our accommodations in Srebreno.

Checking in went smoothly, but maneuvering the bikes into the tight garage was a bit harrowing, especially since a couple of vehicles were parked haphazardly and there was slippery sand on polished concrete. The 2 bedroom apartment was a bit warm from the day's heat, so we cranked up the AC to chill it down.

J was adamant to go for a swim since we missed out the night before. It was just a short walk along the busy road to the beach, and the ocean water a very refreshing 18 or so degrees.

Once back at the in our room, we cleaned up and headed out for a dinner. It was starting to get darker out as the sun sets by 6:30. We chose a nearby restaurant that has a rooftop dining area with a view of the ocean on the horizon. We were rewarded with a spectacular view of the sunset.

The food was okay, but the server had a bit of an attitude... A had to go walk over and ask to get our bill and pay.... 😔Read more
