Centar Marijan Bol

... pizzerii i potem... zwiedzamy " kocia republike".
Zabytkow mnostwo - jak zawsze ciesza oko.
Natomiast ilosc kotow na uliczkach, skwerach, placach - przekroczyla nasza wyobraznie.
Ogladamy tez dom zakupiony prze Billa Gatesa - niestety nie mozna tam wejsc. Ale to, co widac z zewnatrz, swiadczy o duzych pieniadzach i dobrym smaku!
Wieczorem, juz po zmroku pokonujemy / adrenalinka..adrenalinka!/ serpentyny w drodze do domu w Prapratnie.

... pretty and has a subtle urban sprawl that is only noticable once you climb the fortress/citadel. There is a small square adjacent to the harbour and during the evening a free concert of 8 tenors performing (presumably!!) local/traditional music. It was beautiful to listen to, as a group of us sat in the square for dinner.

... on this trip (for those readers that are attentive you would
already know this – and for those that did not…shame on you). It was good to
catch up again, they loved staying in Croatia and they had a couple of weeks
holidays so it worked out well for everyone involved. We drove over Brac, which is the largest island and the highest, with lots of pine trees, vineyards and even an airport. The guy drove fast and overtook a lot, all thedodging and swerving did ...

... beach but the small smooth pebbly rocks were quite comfortable to sit and/or lie on. The water here was quite clear and was actually not too cold, considering the previous rain and the strong winds. Now I finally had a chance to use my mask and snorkel and am really glad that I did not carry it around for three weeks without using it!

We got to see a number of small schools of fish, some sea urchins, tiny ...

... part of the beach in a little cove. We followed her vague directions and I walked to the cliff and looked down to see where we were. Something was immediately wrong with the color. Too much flesh tone always looks peculiar and we had stumbled onto the nudist part of the beach. My perceptions and expectations were quickly dashed. As David Sedaris.1 once said, "The people who aren't nudist should be and the ones who are shouldn't be". The evidence stretched out below me ...

... strudle, wow was it good.. debbie is feeling rough. haha this was a productive day. Basically this is it: we wake up, go eat a sandwich at our favourite sandwich bar.. starts pouring outside.. sit around for a while.. go check email book some places to live.. go back and sleep.. wake up.. go eat pizza... start drinking again.. chris got a shoe placed nicely on his pizza.. hahaha, a couple bottles to the head, and i got a shoe thrown at me.. you know ur average night ...

... ever. She kept speaking to us in Croatian with wild hand gestures, god only knows what she was trying to say. Maybe something about the giant alligators that lived under our bed but i doubt it. So at this point we decided to give the beach a test. We stepped out of our villa gates and BAM! There it was, a beach just waiting for us. Well that was easy. But we had heard tales of the beautiful sandspit, and thats what we really wanted. So we started marching up ...

... any sort of security or deposit, he just took the money and gave us the briefest of instruction on how to drive the thing. A good day, though I do wonder at our mindset when we sat on the one sandy beach of the island and threw what few pebbles we could find at a floating bottle. Why throw rocks there, when they were actually difficult to find?? Definately a great place, exactly what I was after when I came to the coast.

... to next.. stay tuned :o) One thing I almost forgot, Bol has an outdoor cinema. So sweet!! So far we've seen Batman Begins and Hitchikers Guide the Galaxy which we missed in London because of our budget cuts. And it's 2 doors down from our house. Our last night here tomorrow night so hopefully one more good movie before we go overlooking the ocean! Kristen.

... good but not really "getting amongst it" atmosphere in there. Beer 20K. Then we hit Carpe Diem - I can honestly say this is best bar I have ever been to. Funky House Music, really chilled and comfortable sofa's outside looking into the Adriatic Sea - perfection! Only down point is was £20 a round! But they were double vodka redbulls! Sadly there were no clubs open as we were not in season and due to the ...
