Hvar, a picturesque island

We moved fairly swiftly through our first two van weeks in order to arrive in Hvar, Croatia, in time for the last week of a camp for the boys. It's a very beautiful place.

The kids were on a Mediterranean schedule of morning and evening camp, and resting in the mid-day. Their wonderful guides took them to gorgeous swim spots, helped the multi-national kids put on an abridged version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, explore science and performed experiments, and harvest foods at UNESCO-recognized agricultural landscapes that have been in continuous use since Greek Antiquity.

In the meantime, Aaron and I geared right down in accordance with the rhythm of this summer heat and the Adriatic Sea. We napped, read novels, swam and drank coffee. We planned our upcoming routes. We ate local olives, figs and fish. We made friends with some lovely Macedonian people who are great musicians. The boys enjoyed a Wibit situated right at our campsite!もっと詳しく
