Grand Hotel Orebic [ Ex Rathaneum] Dubrovnik Riviera Dbv

Pogoda nie zawsze dopisuje :( Prognozowane monsuny zwiastuja pogorszenie aury.
Jedziemy wiec w podroz po okolicy.
Pieknymi serpentynami dojezdzamy do Orebica. Tam zwiedzamy malowniczy cmentarz marynarzy / o ile mozna mowic w ten sposob o takim miejscu/, ogladamy domy i wsiadamy na prom.
Niestety, o tej porze roku prom niee doplywa juz do centrum miejscowosci Korcula, wiec robimy polgodzinny spacer piechota. Za to nagroda - wspanialy obiad w ...

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

... looked like a lamington- the square, coconut covered sponge cake you get in Australia and New Zealand. I was quite exited as I hadn't seen one since I'd been out there and they're yummy but couldn't manage a whole one, so took what looked like a smaller, ball shaped version. As I bit into it though, I discovered it was a giant chocolate rum ball. Very, very good, but probably not what you should be eating at 9:30 in the morning. Well I couldn't let it go to waste, so I polished ...

... my first impression of Croatia, a place that had been in my mind and dreams for well over a year. It was so strangely relieving to see the ocean again, and I hadn't realised how much I missed it, or how moving the sight of it could be. And here, with these tiny islands splattered across the blue, was something new and enticing. The bus descended into Dubrovnik, and I, the bitter, veteran traveller, haggled and stomped my way into one of the cheaper rooms in ...

Dubrovnik Like - the beauty of the town Dislike - the amount of tourist, it was amazing the cruise ships going there, and its just overwhelming, you cant even walk with out a herd. I think the locals get a bit fed up and were a little rude, but I don't blame them with all the tourist there. Do Differently - stay for a shorter amount of time, or go to some of the islands (Lopud), or to Mostar in Bosnia for day trips. Stayed - stayed at ...

After receiving a timetable for the buses in a local info pamplet, we decided to take the 1130 bus to Split. After walking 30 minutes with packs, we arrive at 1105 and request 3 tickets. The ticket lady gives us strange look and says ½Who told you there was an 1130 bus½? Oh, well that is onlz in the summer, but zou can take the 100 bus. So here we are waiting for the next bus which will hopefullz take us to Split in 4.5 hours where I will take ...

... a park with computers set up among the trees, a novel idea but the mosquitos were a definate minus. Suzy and I had initially had big plans for our trip, resulting on the whole in going to Greece together, unfortunatly time was not on our side and we had to make our way back to Split to go our seperate ways, her to London and me to Belgrade. Our last day together was fun, it involved a lot of ice cream and me having to cough up the equivalent ...

... the same jokes that we imagine most not so funny travelers recite when leaving Hungary (about being full and having our fill etc.), and we were struck almost immediately by the sudden change in scenery. Almost at the border itself the farmlands and rich, loamy soil to which we had grown accustomed to in Hungary gave way to a decidedly Mediterranean looking landscape. For a while we thought we had been transported into the Tuscan countryside with its rolling crimson tinted ...

... from the morning sun, the sky bright blue, and the port busy with fisherman in their boats. The warmth of the sun was perfect after a brisk Slovenia. I was probably walking a little slower than normal, between the lack of sleep, the breathtaking views and the extra time to kill, it took me almost 45 minutes to reach the white stone gates of the old town. The city of Dubrovnik is still surrounded by the original city walls built centuries ago to defend against attacks. Old Town ...
