Today I went on an excursion to the island of Brač, about forty minutes
hydrofoil ride away from Hvar. The trip was organised through one of the
travel agencies in Hvar and thankfully did not include a guide or an ominous
"fish picnic" (which may actually have been quite nice).
We travelled to Bol on the south side of island. Bol is chiefly famous for
the Zlatni Rat beach which is about 2km from the town and is a tongue-like
beach that juts out from the shore. The beach changes on a daily basis
according to the tides, wind etc. This is all of course a gradual process
and I didn"t have to change where I was sitting! Didn"t do an awful lot all
day, mainly just sat on the beach and read. The water was lovely and clear
but did feel slightly cooler than on Hvar.
Had a quick look around town while waiting for my hydrofoil to leave, but it
is pretty quiet and not so stunning as Hvar Town.
This evening, I"ve popped down and had a look at the Miss Croatia contest
but unfortunately they all look the same. The TV show has made the square
look gorgeous though!
