Riva Hvar Yacht Harbour Hotel

... and making sure we had everything we needed.<br><br>Just went and had a short walk around and baked trout dinner at Serum which was a cool little place like being in someones living room. <br>Went to a couple of bars afterwards and found out why it was so quiet in Split - Sunday is the "day of the dead" (the way the barman in the first bar explained it to me) which is the day of the year that everyone visits the graves of their ...

... English, all at once, telling us either &#8220;1 minute walking&#8221; or &#8220;city center&#8221; or &#8220;50 meter to beach&#8221; or &#8220;nice room&#8221; or &#8220;come see room&#8221; in broken English. We finally settled on the guy who spoke the most English and promised us the lowest price. Of course, when he took us to his apartment so we could check it out, he had &#8220;forgotten&#8221; his low price at the dock and Andre had to ...

... an hour as they swam amongst the few boats. The sun has been shining all day and we have done absolutely nothing! After breakfast we walked down to the beach, which is just a short walk from where we have parked at the campsite. Then, we played a board game and had lunch, followed by going for a swim in the ocean and relaxing on the rocks. We are about to catch the ferry from our campsite into the small town of Trogir; we can ...

... again. But you'd try to wade it out and just to be off the boat for a while.<br><br>Lunches were awesome. First day we got soup, just delicious, stupid thing was we thought that was it as it was a massive bowl plonked on the table. Rookie mistake, there was second course of pasta, then dessert. Most lunches were 2 if not 3 courses beginning with soup then a second course which during the week included calamari, fish and potatoes, snitzels, mousakka, other random yummy things. Dessert ...

... of 7.7 hours of sun each day, making it the sunniest place in Croatia. the temp was a toasty 37 degrees C, or around 100 degrees F. the water is a pristine 22 degrees C, which you science buffs out there might know as room temperature. the old castles, gothic buildings, and marble paved streets give character and history to the intense natural beauty of the island. the main Hvar town is located right at the main ...

... to see where the action was. Ater being kicked out of a wedding reception we took a seat in front of a busker, drunk and staggering home we called it a night and looked forward to our day on the links. We woke up the next morning drier than the sun and gasping for air. We managed to be on our 9.30 ferry to the island of Bruglija and by 10:30 we were teeing off. Our first shots were crackers and whilst my game went downhill from there Matt maintained some reasonable form. We ...

... to church. A Croatian mass is the way to go, all done and dusted in half and hour, might have to send some pointers back home. We then met a guy selling a boat trip for the next day out to these caves and the island Vis. He did a great sell so booked our tickets and headed back to the campsite to shave off Spud's hair! He had had enough of it and had run out of his precious fudge again even the stuff mum arrived over with! So we bought some ...

... tv. I think my favourite show must have been Bible Funglish. Nothing like watching Chinese people sing phrases from the bible to help them learn English. We also watched a tv show on what Korean teenagers do for fun. it seems that the number one thing for teenagers in Korea is to do their hair. Followed closely of course by text messaging.. The next day we went for a walk around the island and sat on the beach in the sun. I love these lazy days and the ...

... in the morning. After travelling through Western Europe the first thing I noticed was how inexpensive Croatia was in comparison. The town is really cute with a tourist strip filled with restaurants and shops but with quaint little streets and lovely people.
