Hvar Island, Croatia

Wow. So 9 days after my last posting and a full 2 weeks after Croatia I get good internet access. We are in France with our good friends Marion and Damien. Hvar Island was way back on the 16th of May!

Our plan was to stay in Hvar Island for 1 night. We stayed 3. It was incredibly picturesque.

Step off the ferry, little old crazy lady jumps all over you to basically force you to stay in her house. OK! The town is behind Tara's head.



I already love this town. Small town, ancient citadel, city guns to protect ye from the pirates and turks. Yarrr! Give me all your gold doubloons.



We are enjoying our lunch in the main square of town. Correction: We WERE enjoying our lunch. Island paradise?



To escape the hustle-bustle of the town and the speedos we hired a boat to a nearby island. Population: 20.



Lunch at our own private spot on the island. This piece of heaven served wine, olives, artichokes and seafood - ALL from the property! We loved this spot and just stared out at the vineyard for hours.



This shot captures how blue the water is. I had a hard time resisting stacking all the blocks on top of each other. The water is very salty and therefore makes you bouyant. I swam around for half an hour with very little effort.
