Looking forward to Croatia 12.8.15 Mostar to Split. Our apartment guy, Harris, took us to the bus station which was really kind. He didn’t want to take any money so we insisted he took it and used it for nappies for his 5 day old twin boys.Stood for a while chatting about history and politics.Most…
Absolutely beautiful 13.8.15Last night I emailed An & Dy Aparts to ask where the kettle is as I have to have my morning coffee and a kettle is a booking deal breaker. (So is a patio, balcony or garden, hadn’t anticipated such crap garden furniture though)A few minutes later a man appeared with the tiniest…
We rarely do a beach day 14.8.15 It’s a rarity to sit on a beach when travelling. We live in a tourist resort surrounded by beaches so always feel it’s a wasted day when we could be exploring new places. I’m not sure how today came about, maybe we felt we’d seen most of Split….
Now for a bit of island hopping 15.8.15 We walked to the ferry port and caught the 11 am Jadrolinja ferry to Hvar, stopping for doughnuts in the way.We weren’t sad to say goodbye to our An & Dy apartment!! Or my chair We had booked online so we needed to ask which boat one…
Exploring the beautiful Hvar Island 16.8.15 We were surprised to see clouds this morning as we walked to the bus station and even felt chilly.The bus left promptly at 10.10 am and then stopped at the ferry port for the 10.30 am ferry arrivals. Arrived in Hvar town after a 30 minute windy, narrow road…
Our time here is flying by. 17.8.25 We caught the 11am bus to Jelsa. The town is small, very beautiful, lots of churches and the same architecture as in Hvar and Stari Grad. First stop the bakery then coffee. John had to have beer as they had no hot chocolate. Nextt we walked all along…
Korcula, our next island 18.8.15 We had to get up early and catch the 8 am bus to Hvar for our 10.30 ferry. Of course this meant we were in Hvar by 8.30 am. There were black clouds in Stari Grad as we left and raining quite hard for the bus journey. We strolled along…
A Korcula Island beach day 19.8.15 Soline harbour and beach is 800 m from where we’re staying so as it was sunny we decided on a beach day.The walk was straight along the main road and a short road downwards at the end. When we were brought to the apartment it felt like we we…
A visit to Lumbarda 20.8.15 We got a return bus ticket to Lumbarda, a beach area at the end of the island.( have a tune going round my head now) Some people got off the bus by the sea where there were a couple of shops.We decided to go with the majority and got off…
So looking forward to Dubrovnik 21.8.15 A little cat with a very poorly eye that came to say hello on day one came to say goodbye as we packed.Sweet little thing, seems to have lost all sight in it but not in pain, purring happily and managing perfectly well with the other one. Our apartment…
The Pearl of the Adriatic 22.8.15 Last night we left the bar up the road when the live entertainment started. We were quite excited when we saw a bit of entertainment advertised on their board. There was only about 6 of us in the bar and felt a bit guilty but we can’t bear the…
It’s raining, where shall we go today? 23.8.15 Woke up to black clouds and just so pleased it was nice for Dubrovnik Old Town yesterday.It looked like it might brighten up and the original plan was a nice relaxing beach day for our last day.After breakfast we walked along the headland turning left from our…
Escaping Adriatic rooms and back to Sarajevo 24.8.15 Up early and had breakfast, checked out and got the bus to Dubrovnik Old Town and then the 1a to the bus station. We were way too early for our 1pm bus but anything was better than spending an extra minute in the Adriatic rooms.Not a cloud…
