Hvar again


Upon waking up we went up to hotel reception area for a nice breakfast. Because we had over an hour before our boat tour we walked down to the main town as we weren’t going to have a lot of time afterwards to enjoy this stunningly beautiful place. 

Caro picked up an item or two in the food store and later we went to an ABM to pick up some more Euros. We don’t really need that much cash however on Saturday morning we say good bye to Karolina ( our Polish guide) and the rest of the group and of course it is “tip” time for Karolina. 

The weather today is super windy and upon return to the hotel we were informed that the boat tour was cancelled by the boat Captain ( too rough and dangerous)

Therefore,change of plans! I put out the word on WhatsApp that Caro and I were going to walk up the hill to the fortress. Three people joined us. 

The view was spectacular. It was so windy one of my hearing aids almost came out so I had to take them out and put into my pockets. 





Instead of returning to the hotel right away after we walked down we went back to the downtown and picked up some wine and snacks to enjoy throughout the day. 

After I woke up from a nap in the afternoon we walked down a very rocky unofficial pathway to the beach area. Here we found a beautiful malecon walkway which we followed for about a kilometre. It went around two bays and at the end the little bay was protected from the super strong winds. Caro decided to go for a swim. 





Back at the hotel again ( while enjoying a glass of Rose wine) I got hold of our AirBnb of our upcoming three night stay  to make arrangements to be there earlier than normal check in. 

Supper was at 7:30 PM. It was good , as expected. Because a couple of people are gone by tomorrow night we had our final meal tonight with all of us saying a few words about the trip. There was also a surprise birthday cake for our guide Karolina
