Last full day in Croatia today - I am leaving the country tomorrow sadly. Tried to have a bit of a sleep in but unfortunately the room I am staying in is right above the kitchen and so I was awoken by the sound of breakfast being prepared. Oh well.
Went for a walk around the cliffs to the south of Hvar after breakfast - lots of houses with fabulous views and apartments to rent. Prime jogging spot as well although I was not indulging in that activity! Some fabulous views out to sea and to the islands and a strange circular rock island with a lighthouse on top.
Back in town, I visited the church near the hotel and also the art gallery in town. A large clipper was visiting Hvar for the day and it sat offshore all day, discharging its cargo of elderly American tourists from a little shuttle boat. Visited a few of the jewellery shops in town - coral is very popular here, as well as a bit of turquoise and mother of pearl.
Wandered the other way around the cliffs and sat on the beach until sunset, swimming, sunning and reading the Carol Shields book Duet (it is a republication of The Box Garden and Small Ceremonies - very enjoyable!)
