Hotel Adria Vela Luka

I think we both had a good feeling when we arrived in Korcula. It was evening but it wasn't cold or raining. And after the hoards of locals bombarded us at the ferry dock, we chose the old Croatian lady who barely spoke English. We wanted to do something completely different this time. So we followed her the "1 minute" walk to her apartment. She showed us our room, on the top floor, and the patio where the make-shift kitchen is. The apartment is literally ...

We were really excited to finally get to a Croatian island. We took a ferry from Split to the island of Hvar. It's a really small island where pretty much the only thing to do there is go to the beach. We didn’t have a place to stay booked because we knew about the "sobes." They are apartments locals rent out to tourists for really good deals (especially in October when it’s on the border of shoulder season and off season). The second ...

Pogoda nie zawsze dopisuje :( Prognozowane monsuny zwiastuja pogorszenie aury.<br>Jedziemy wiec w podroz po okolicy.<br>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.<br>Niestety, o tej porze roku prom niee doplywa juz do centrum miejscowosci Korcula, wiec robimy polgodzinny spacer piechota. Za to nagroda - wspanialy obiad w ...

... for lunch - and given the fact that my story had spread around the boat over breakfast, but the time it came for lunch to be served, not many people were willing to take on the chicken... (even though the food I ate the night before was in a restaurant and our chef had prepared - during the course of the entire trip) three ...

... type peninsula thing. So from above the pine trees stop and the<br>pebbles jut out around the trees and down to a tip, like an isosceles triangle<br>that curves slightly. That&#8217;s the one, right? Maths HAS come in handy to<br>me!!!!!!! Who knew?! All those classes have finally paid off! I feel complete.<br><br>Anyway, we got down there and sunned. There were some restaurants, drinks shacks, and even an internet café amongst the pine trees. They were playing loud music ...

... on the road a while is that the value of the exotic is now quite low. Its more about direct utility. In fairness, I have been quite a pain in the ass for this leg of the trip. Next stop, after some heavy lobbying, was determined to be anywhere outside Croatia. Its very scenic here, the family welcome is amazing, but I can't imagine ever needing a return visit as there are more interesting places around in which to get separated from your euros.

I took a bus to the other side of the island, where I had rented an apartment in Komitz. The insides were resplendent in vaguely religious/naked paintings and the view from the shuttered window encaptured the bay's curving form. The day was spent hiking with my friends to a stony beach some mile away through rustic undergrowth and a floor of tinder dry pine needles. I don't get at the time all ...

Woke up on the deck to the sun and the breakfast smell. Such a better start to the day then waking up in the stuffy cabin to the smell of gas (our cabin is right new to the engine). I think I may be sleeping on deck more often. Had a nap in the sun at the front of the boat for a bit after breakfast until we hit a swim spot. Once we got to one I jumped off for a bit of a swim and a snorkel. Came back up and had another nap. I ...

... with a lot of pointing to the wet parts of their bodies. The café had big red candles with a subdued atmosphere and I settled in for some café mind surfing, thinking profound thoughts that in reflection were actually quite stupid and immature but entertaining none the less. They played Jack Johnson and the music made me for he first time a little home sick. I did not necessarily want to go back but I did miss some ambiguous idea of home. Also, it made me miss my ...

Spent the day on a three island cruise to some of the Elafiti Islands- Sipan, Kolocep and Lopud. 25 minutes after leaving Dubrovnik the boat arrived at the first island of Kolocep. We had about an hour here. This island has centuries old pine forests, olive groves, lemon and orange orchards. I headed straight to the little sandy beach and lay in the sun until it was time ...
