Korčula

We had another full day today. After breakfast, we packed up our bags for a 10 am checkout and walked to Bellevue Beach about 10 minutes away in Dubrovnik. It was a secluded beach behind a hotel off the rocks and was just what we needed early in the morning. It was 90 by the time we got in the water and the temperature was perfect, just like yesterday. It's surprisingly easy to float in the sea too. We got to spend about 90 minutes before we headed back to pick up our luggage at our Airbnb and took an Uber to the ferry port. We had a wonderful lunch across the street (pizzas and a burrito and tuna salad) before boarding the 2.5 hour ferry to Korčula island. Between the sun and meclizine, most of us fell asleep on the calm boat ride. We arrived in Korčula at about 1630 and took a cab to our Airbnb 10 minutes away. We pulled up to meet the owner who owns the house next door and she showed us around one of the best Airbnbs we have been to. We found it at a discount since it had no reviews but it is perfect for us and even nicer than the pictures with great finishes and even a garden with swings and a firepit grill and then she gave us a brand new bike and a stand-up paddleboard to use while we are here. The best part was when she walked us 100 meters down to the beach with a restaurant shack for dinner and drinks. After unpacking and shopping, we changed back to beach clothes and took the kids down to the water. It is a great spot with lots of kids and an entire campground with lots of tent campers nearby. The SUP was a hit with all three kids and it was hard to pull them out of the water for burgers for dinner. We let them get back in afterward for 15 minutes as the sun went down. Home for showers and straight to their (bunk) beds while we watch the Bear before falling asleep. Apparently, a donut and fresh fish truck is coming by tomorrow... should be an interesting combination.Read more
