      Tour de l’île de Hvar

      June 13, 2023 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Ce matin, je me réveille tranquillement, je vais faire qq courses et on décide de louer une voiture à 5 avec d’autres gens de l’hôtel pour explorer l’île.
      On est allé à deux plages différentes, la deuxième plus sauvage dans une crique, l’eau est trop belle😍 c’est sympa, on discute tous les 5, on nage, on bronze…
      Ensuite on va faire un tour dans le petit village de Stari Grad. C’est mignon mais un peu mort. Dans un petit stand, je vois qu’il a un “iced coffee”, j’ai chaud alors je me laisse tenter. Je pensais avoir la mm chose qu’au Vietnam, mais non! C’était comme une espèce de glace au café, c’était crémeux (et très bon).
      On fait la route retour sur une plus petite route qui passe au milieu des champs de lavande puis on rend la voiture et on rentre à l’auberge se poser.
      Vers 20h, on se balade le long de la mer. Je ne vois pas le coucher du soleil mais les couleurs sont super jolies. Puis à 22h on rejoint ce qu’ils appellent “pub crawl”. Une organisation pour aller de bar en bar, et finir sur la seule boîte de nuit ici qui est sur une autre île! Ça s’appelle Carpe Diem, connu des fêtards. On prend le ferry pour y aller, et grosse soirée qui finie très tard…

      Zoomy Day

      August 2, 2023 in Croatia

      We rented a fast boat today - 11m RIB w a 250hp 4 stroke.... It worked well for the choppy conditions.

      We started at a "wine tasting" that was an excellent location w/ wine that I thought was much too mineral-forward.

      But the wine is aged (at least partly) in an undersea cellar, which is pretty nifty.

      After that, two different gorgeous beach bars and some exotic red cliffs/caves. The choppy seas meant we couldn't swim near the red rocks, but we sure enjoyed the two 'beaches'.

      I use quotes because beaches here, so far, tend towards pebbly/rocky vs. sandy. It's a visual smorgasbord but tough on the feet.

      Sun, sea, laughs.... Good stuff.

      After a stop on our yacht to clean up we headed back to Hvar for "the best sunset of your life". It was not the best. But I've had an abundance of excellent sunsets... so that's a high bar.

      It was a fun but overcrowded bar so I took a stroll, got a gelato, and am headed home to rest/sleep. Tomorrow is another day!

      Day 25 - Same Again

      August 28, 2020 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Went for an early morning run. Took a few harbour photos & stopped at the bakery to buy some bread for our lunch. I couldn’t decide, so I bought a baguette & a loaf.

      Just after 9.00am, we set off for Dubovica Beach & sat down at our new usual spot. We had saved our breath by inflating Zoom Lolly Lilo with the air bed pump & car cigarette lighter, before walking down the goat path.

      Not much else happened, Jackie splashed about on the lilo most of the day whilst I read. Lunch was the baguette filled with what turned out to be flavourless hard boiled eggs & tomatoes. And wine.

      We left beach gone 5.00pm & stopped at Tommy Hipermarket for fresh supplies. Back at the apartment, I found that I was able to watch the T20 cricket on the iPad, which was a right result until it was abandoned due to rain!

      Jackie made us sausage (Bratwurst), chips & salad for our tea, which we had with the homemade wine we bought the night before. We knew it would be good, because we had drunk it in Pizzeria Marco as their ‘domestic’ wine.

      With the cricket abandoned, we played another online quiz & had an early night.

      Bye Slovenia, hello Croatia

      September 8, 2018 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Sadly we packed all our stuff and were picked up at 930 by Darko, for the 5 hour drive to Split. Once through border control the landscape changed gradually from the lush green forests and fields to drier, more rocky terrain. We arrived in Split around 4pm and found our lovely boat, the Futura. We unpacked and joined everyone for a walking tour of Split with outs fascinating palace and markets. I bought a hat.Read more
