More hills … more beauty …

All is quiet as we leave the old town this morning.  A scattering of early wanderers getting that photo with no tourist heads in the way, the pigeons have a free reign in the squares.  Restaurants on the promenade; tables are covered for the breakfast trade.  Down by the harbour, train and bus station a little bit of activity as people moving around with their wheelie suitcases, just like us, ours are called bikes.

9am ferry to Supetar, no need for ‘skip the queue’, bikes get priority we just go to the front and park on the sides of the ferry. I just love the car ferries.

I had a ‘welcome to Rottnest’ moment as we left the ferry at Supetar, it had ‘that’ feeling … the limestone buildings on entrance, flat with a few houses and cafes. 

A coffee and we were off, the Rottnest feeling gone as we rode through olive groves with big olives and dry stone walls.  It’s only 17km but some nice hill climbs with spectacular views of the coast, islands and Split town in the distance until we crossed to the other side with an amazing downhill into Milna.

A very pretty marina and small old town.  We are staying at an apartment about 1km from the centre along the coast.  Lovely view of a marina and constant sail boating traffic. 

A swim in the crystal clear waters, only up to my chin … ambulance post closed today … it’s Sunday.  Hopefully tomorrow on the next island there will be someone to remove my stitches (YouTube search?).

Wow! Off to the old town for dinner, passing 100’s of yachts all occupied and having pre dinner drinks as the sun is setting, a ‘buzz’! Not to mention the bike/boat tour boats that are also in the mix.

Our restaurant recommendation was fully booked, not surprising with the number of people around in this little town.
