Grand Hotel Orebic [ Ex Rathaneum] Dubrovnik Riviera Dbv

... After an hour of sailing and sitting in the sun, sinking a few cold ales things relaxed as we stopped for a swim. By the night we had all downed a 'few' more cold ones and were all getting on as though we alll knew each other really well. The next morning we all woke with severe hangovers, but these were somewhat forgotten due to the amazing surroundings, cooked breakfast and great weather as we sailed down the coast. Before lunch we ...

<br>Another early morning swim saw us on<br>our way to Orebic, on the Peljesac Peninsula. After a brief foray<br>around town following some persuasive signs for 'Antony Boy Camping<br>Site, Surfing and Scuba' we gave up and returned to campsite we had<br>passed on the way in. Camp Nevio was a well maintained if slightly<br>characterless place to stay ...

... get the water ferries to the main ports. In Orebic you can catch the ferry to Korcula, another Medieval fortress city. We visited the islands and bought snorkels to really exploit the coast. We had a really chilled out stay at this place and visited a couple of different beaches. A really relaxing place - this is one long holiday.

... just the occasional bird. Reaching the village of Sobra I climb the peak on the other side and sit on a high point and spot the ferry approaching in the distance, a long white wake in its trail. It seems to take forever to reach me, but everytime I concentrate my gaze I realise it has crept milimetres closer. I consider staying longer, but who knows what else is out there to see and discover. Its time to take the boat and head to the Island of Korc(h)ula.

... see are our camera but using her colour filters - it enhances the colours of the sunset. Once the sun had set we headed to a restaurant - where once again we had seafood, out side the restaurants near the port they have large deep concreted ponds where you could pick your seafood for dinner - we didn't do this but it was something unusual. After such a busy day we called it a night, especially as the engine was to start at 7am again!

You roll through the dry Hercegovinian hills at an ungodly hour of the morning, on a bus packed with backpacker-types. You cross a hill no different to any other, and suddenly your eyes go blank, or seem to. Endless blue curves away to the horizon, and only gradually do details emerge; whitish villages, green splashes of islands, flotillas of watercraft. A matter of metres is all it takes, but unquestionably, you are not in Bosnia or Hercegovina anymore. That ...

... overnight ferry to Ancona, all by myself. Tracz and Ben are stazing in split for a daz before thez head off to italz. The z y kezs are switched if zou cant tell, and I dont have time to fix all this, so please bear with me! Yesterdaz we did an amaying self guided tour around the fortress walls that contain Dubrovnik. It took 2 hours and kind of freaked us out since it was so high, and no of those American safetz procations. Took some great ...

... Sadly, traversing this diverse region is not nearly as simple and option laden as similar trips have been in Western Europe, but so far the experience has been well worth the extra effort. As it turned out Croatia, our next destination, tested our patience a bit with its surly shop attendants and downright rude pedestrians, but in the end it proved to be a lovely place to visit and a spot we will not soon forget. As our bus pulled away from the Hungarian boarder and we ...

... been traveling the world ever since. We heard stories of their daughters, their adventures, and their country. We shared ours as well. It was great to talk with them as the night grew later and later. Our bed was calling our name. We made it home and prepared for our flight the next day. A good night sleep and two bus rides later, we made it to the airport. Since we were flying one way we had to purchase a business class seat for some reason. That was annoying when we ...

... the old part of the city for a while until Michelle had another bee fly into her top and basically removed all her items of clothing at which point we decided to wander ...
