Sirena Hvar Beachwood Hotel

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 ...

Riwiera Makarska to naszym zdaniem, najpiekniejsze wybrzeze Chorwacji.
Oczywiscie, jesli lubicie na rowni gory i morze!!

... courses each and every lunch....

Due to the weather conditions, no-one went swimming in the morning and we arrived in Hvar a couple of hours earlier than planned. We had unexpectedly arrived on the eve of a national/island holiday (St Stephens martyr day) and some festivities were planned for the evening. The town is ...

... little number on my neck again but I lay down later and got rid of that. Blerg.

We were dropped off and went to find our accommodation. Turned out to be a living set up with alot of rooms, but still with a homely feel to it. It was up a little hill but had a lovely courtyard with grape laden vines, a vegetable and herb garden, and a scatty cat finding jumping bugs.

It was hot and sunny so we wandered round town looking at every tall guy with a dark haired
woman ...

The ride to Hvar is a pretty one. The island is quite large. We drive to the town of Hvar which has the most activity. We are just in time to catch the last of the sunset over the coastline. Finding our preferred hotel was difficult. Signs are spotty and LP does poorly on directions once outside the center. We finally find a really nice hotel with water views. It caters to German tourists but they let us have a room J It feels like we are a long ways from town because of ...

... had squealed on us. Adamant that we had nothing to hide we told her she was lying, she then tried the same tactic on Maxi. We were all made to strip naked in front of one of the male guards to show we weren't concealing any weapons. It was after this that the male guard started to feel sorry for us (I wonder why?). The witch lady was quite furious by now and decided she wanted another 10 mins alone with Maxi. Afterwards Maxi exited the room looking quite disturbed, she had ...

... about 15miles away. Day 1 - Kremik Base to Trogir - no stop for lunch. Lots of good sailing. Vent 15-20noeuds. Arrive Trogir 5PM. Moor boat for the first time, interesting experience with the lazy line, backing in, stern first to quay. Have first flotilla group meal within the walls of the medieval town. Day 2 - Trogir to Milna (Brac island) - Stop for lunch in a big bay on Solta island, There is a forest fire ...

... still no sign of the taxi and I was getting a bit stressed. I rang Cameron again and just as he picked up I noticed a cab in the distance round the corner. 'Is that you?' I asked Cameron. I waved at the cab and heard over the phone. 'Stop near that man waving there.' I jumped into the cab and told him to drive down the wharf. Whew! We made it with one minute to spare. I paid the driver the fare (a whopping 300 kuna - $65) and thanked him for his valiant efforts. Jean later ...

... a jagged rock inches away from the sea. No thanks. I chose a little hill, which also meant I had a great vantage point for watching the boats and all the jammy people having fun on them. I started to realise quickly that I was probably the most pale and pasty person in about 100 miles, and that's me with a tan. These people are so ridiculously brown. Hvar is ok, but to be honest ...

... to mark the end of our 9/11 conversation. I do believe that a healthy amount of talk and reflection are good, but beyond that, it seems politics and debates about the war always take over. I did not want this to be the way I spent my day in Hvar. The truth is, although this was the actual date of the attack five years ago, there are many days throughout the year that I am forced to remember things from that day and reflect in my own way. This day, I was glad to re-focus on the ...
