Park Korcula

... pasta. We also had a prosciutto and cheese salad with herbs and lavender --- delicious! The server, Adrianna, was very sweet and this probably was our best meal of the trip so far. We finished the night off with gelato from Café Kiwi and were off to bed. Our ferry to Dubrovnik leaves at 7am so we needed to get some rest. But first we sat outside the apartment and drank a bottle of Prosip wine that we bought earlier. Life is good…..

... I kept rolling over onto my bad side and the pain woke me up about every hour on the hour. We took it really easy on our last day in Korcula, it had clouded over so it was a good day to sit back, play some cards and just chill out. Took a small walk into town just to pick up bandages and pain killers. Our next stop on our Croatian tour was the Island of Hvar, a one hour ferry ride. I was thinking about trying the scooters there, WHAT DO YOU THINK?????..............

... stopped on the shore for a well-deserved ice-cream. We had fed a family of swans and watched as a mother duck took her ducklings for a walk, when suddenly a rainbow stretched across the sky, from the castle on the cliff to the island in the middle of the lake. "Could this be any more perfect?" asked Chris, just as a little bird landed on Caroline's knee. She hand-fed it a piece of her ice-cream cone and it flew off. We know ...

... 1 minutes walk from the ferry dock. I asked unhopefully if they had any rooms, and was told that there were no single rooms left. Casually asking if there were any rooms for 2 people, it took a while for the woman to understand that I was willing to pay double just to get a room as her English was very limited! But in the end, she showed me up to her last room, with a huge double bed and views out to the forested hillside beyond, for the price of... 200KN ...

... of imagination to think what it might be like with crowds of beautiful people, but it felt kind of magical to have it ourselves. There is so much more to saz, but it all takes so long to saz it. For now, I'll just touch on Croatia and then go back out into the streets. We took a bus from Venice to Pula in Croatia, whipping in and out of Slovenia on the waz. Our first stretch of this side of the Adriatic was spectacular and we ended in the ...

... wanted to go the long way and see the castle on the hill and one of our party members4 wanted to call it a day and go back and have a cappuccino. Luckily the smart one of our group prevailed and as we took our first sips of coffee the rain started to fall in starts and finishes and then in earnest. The rest of the day was a wash5 due to the power going out for the whole island. No matter most forms of entertainment on the island, such as watching the ferries unload and pick up tourists or ...

... self - I need to read "Le Petit Prince". Emilie suggested it as a way of learning French because it is a very simple story using simple language. In addition to continuing learning Spanish when I return, French will also be a priority. At least now I have someone to communicate with in French! A very unique day - I can't really tell you what we did all day (because we really didn't do much of anything), only that it was very full and very memorable. It was a blast ...

... flux is a challenge, and a great opportunity for growth... in travel and in Life. We are not always mindful with all of this, but as we surrender to this gentle transformation, so we are more aware of the lessons that are brought with every moment and person we meet.

Keep those e-mails coming as we love to hear of you and of home! with light, mark and stay

... see that there really wasn't much to the town. There was no true town center, just one main street, a gas station on one end and a few restaurant on the other. The harbor side was nice, but certainly more a place of business than beauty. The streets were asphalt and the stairs and walks between the buildings were concrete or stone. We climbed a hill so that we could view the town and watch the sunset behind the small steep mountain islands in this section of the ...

... firing their guns. Judging from the street play of little boys and intercity-entertainment on buses, the military is still a popular aspiration for many. We tried to question without being too forceful or nosy, but Evo soon became reticent, shrugging it off as a boring topic. Natalie artfully changed the tone of the evening with her summons, "Evo! More Pivo!" After a few more of Evo's pivos and home made spirit, it was all downhill..... We trudged off in search of Dubrovnik ...
