Croatia Day six

Nice relaxing day today - no boats sadly for the first time this trip!

Went for a wander around the town this morning checking out day trips. I was planning to go to Brač and stay in Bol for the last two nights but instead I will just do a day trip there tomorrow and then catch the catamaran to Split early on Sunday morning. There are lots of different companies offering boats - some ferries, some hydrofoil, some catamaran. Unfortunately you have to look in different places to find details! Confusing! Never mind, I think I have everything figured out now.

Spent a bit of time on the beach near the hotel this morning. Lots of leathery people out sunbathing - canćt remember whether I have mentioned this before but I have seen loads of people just applying oil rather than sunblock - scary!

I was relatively sensible and covered up when necessary! Spent most of the day there and then went to the
Spanjol Fortress which perches above Hvar Town in the afternoon. Amazing views over Hvar and out the islands. It was worth the long trek up there!

Saw Sara off to the catamaran to Korčula where she is staying next - she is in Croatia for a few more days than me so she is going to Dubrovnik as well.


Miss Croatia / Dalmatia is on here tomorrow night - we have seen a few of the contestants parading around town in high heels. They are all very skinny and groomed. Two Aussie boys nearly fell in to the harbour in their eagerness to get a photo!

Amazing amount of Kiwis and Aussies here as well - as Sara said, you may as well be drinking on the Strip in Christchurch!
