Korcula Island Part 2

Croatian islands, Korcula
Croatia must surely be in the top ten for countries with strangely shaped borders. Even Croatia's Adriatic coastline is not continuous, with a token 26km stretch generously given to Bosnia. Our bus from Dubrovnik took the coastal road, or ...
Lazy Beach Bums

... to be very reasonable, just under $10 before I added in the tip, so I'm glad I went ahead and did it. I think if or when Croatia does go to the euro, prices will definitely go up for tourist items. For example, paying 100 kuna for a 3 hour bus ride sounds ...
Korcula
In Korchula I had a relaxed night with a couple of lads I had met on the ferry. We found a cocktail bar on the roof of one of the towers on the city walls. The drinks were tasty and potent but there was a snag. Entry to the bar was up a very steep ladder ...
