Hvar - There's More

Yes that's its name - our home for the week....

It's been some time out of range - ie docked at ports with no internet access. So we'll do some catching up. Here is one of the many bars / restaurants in Hvar - Croatia - where we're currently travelling. (More details at the travel specific blog - click here.) We're back on dry land in Dubrovnik as the ship has set sail back to Split, but it still feels like we're at sea - that rocking and rolling feeling you get - when you're not rocking and rolling...

I love sometimes being out of range - it puts the super back into superchilled. I got to try some watercolour painting, swam endless kilometres between islands and around bays and beaches and chased after countless fish, oh and a few men. But the best ones were those I didn't need to chase at all!! We had games of scrabble, bogglewords, pictionary and a few others I can't remember the name of, just like you do on those balmy summer evenings when you're on holiday with friends, and chatted away on deck and in various ports as we explored the new locales. We did a run in Hvar - early morning but still hot - as part of my continuing running phase - and enjoyed it (after a very stiff beginning) - some great sights along an oceanic path too.

Like this cafe above.

I've been practicing with the new underwater cam - too much fun! More photos to follow probably tomorrow after we've explored more of Dubrovnik... which deserves its own post or three.

Oh, and for those who will be asking - Croatian men are a mix - some are drop dead gorgeous - others less so... but there are enough distractions to make a simple walk or swim a pleasure for more than just the landscapes.

Did anyone do something for Wild Wednesday this week?

There was a cafe in Hvar that I went to daily where I attempted to teach this young kid English.

If he was 16 in '88 he would be...
