Korcula Croatia
From Split we headed to Hvar, Croatia. An island off the coast. We took a ferry to get there and arrived in Stari Grad. We had to take a bus from there to the city of Hvar, which is on the island of Hvar. The bus was so bumpy and awful. I thought that I would throw up on the bus but luckily...I didnt!
We arrived in Hvar and found a baba renting a room. We looked at the room and agreed to take it. It was wondeful. The room had AC and a kitchen. We were in heaven compared to the last place where we couldnt sleep due to the massive heat.
Hvar was beautiful and the beaches were so much better. I would recommend Split for a day trip and then head out to an island. We saw a lovely church and hiked up to a gigantic fortress. Then I took a picture of kathy next to an aloe plant that was taller than she was. Weve been seeing the most amazing plants here. Lemon trees, orange trees, olive treees, gigantic aloe plants, and the largest array of beautiful flowers!! The night life in Hvar consisted of only one club, Carpe Diem. We went there of course and drank too much of course!
From there we hopped another ferry to Korcula. Thats where I am right now. Its even more beautiful here than Hvar. When we got off of the boat lots of people tried to offer us a room and we only wanted one with AC. One baba told me that she had AC and so we walked all the way to her place and it turned out she had AC in the living room but not the bedroom where we were stayzing. NO THANK YOU! So we went back and everyone tried to tell us that we didnt need AC because of the island breeze..but im telling you, thats a lie! You need it! After a small search and a bit of bargining, we found a place with ac, on the water, and a great view of several islands. This morning we woke up and watched all the boats and windsurfers going by. All this for only 16 euro a night.
We finally found a sandy beach, unlike the rocky ones that are everywhere else. And the water in the Adratic Sea is so clear. The Adratic Sea is the sea that surrounds croatia and all of its islands. You can always see your feet and the bottom of the sea from wherever you are swimming here!! Yesterday was the first cloudy day weve encountered and we both burned to a crisp because of it. Then this morning...our burns disappeared except for a bit on the girls. Oh well. Thats the price of beauty.
Now we are headed to Dubrovnik, Croatia by ferry and then on the 30th we are flying to Budapest. I hear there is a nude beach in Dubrovnik and i just might be bearing my bottom to the sun very soon!!!
