Island hopping …

An early morning, all quiet in the marinas, a couple of the bike/boats have left, the catamaran which takes bikes is at 8am, we’re off to the island of Hvar.

A very busy town with an attractive castle high on the hill, it’s very touristy.

A coffee, which John said we paid €4 for the coffee and €4 for the view.  Indicative of the tourist trade here. 

Another stunning day, high scattered clouds sweeping in and out throughout the day.

A trip to the hospital to finally remove my 4 stitches, then as we were half way, we proceeded to make our way up to the castle.  A lovely winding path with attractive plants … it looked like new plantings have been going on recently.

We are able to ride along the coast in both directions, a very ritzy hotel in one direction, the other nice little small pebble beaches.

A picnic lunch with food from the supermarket, overlooking a beach and the water traffic as it came into Port.  A few steps and into the water.  So nice to be able to swim and enjoy the clear water.  So refreshing.

This is pure relaxation … swim, kindle, sun.

The port is a hive of activity, ferries, private rental catamarans and bike/boat tours all with limited time to dock and leave.

A 6pm catamaran to Korcula, incredible views of the island of Hvar until the sun sets , we arrive in the dark, to see the lights of the bell tower in the old town.
