Day 16 (Thursday)
Today we decided to go on a day trip to Hvar Town, the
capital of Hvar island. This would be a
sort of rehearsal for Monday when we leave Hvar Town port for the island of
Korcula.
The Croatian bus system is still a bit of a mystery to
us. We boarded the bus at Stari Grad and
managed to get a seat and assumed it would take us directly to Hvar Town. However, Croatian bus drivers seem to work on
the principle of 130% occupancy so we stopped at Stari Grad port to see how
many more we could shoehorn in.
Hvar Town is another Croatian town full of medieval alleys
overlooked by ancient stone houses.
Unfortunately it really was just too hot to do a great deal of exploring
so we soaked up the atmosphere around the harbour. Tracey is still having trouble with the currency
and nearly bought a bracelet which she thought was £18 but it turned out to be
£180. Apparently it was very nice
though.
The return bus journey was much quieter so to spice things
up a bit the driver made us all get off at Stari Grad port and get onto another
bus for no apparent reason.

ReplyDeleteFinding it really difficult to read these strange words we have to complete in order to post a reply. Can any one read them? Mark - you are an IT man - can I avoid going through this stage? Art.
ReplyDeleteHi Arthur
ReplyDeleteCorrection - I used to be an IT man but I'm sure it's like riding a bike ;-) We have made a couple of changes so hopefully it should display in English now. If not just right click anywhere on the page and click on 'Translate to English'.
Congratulations! That is the worst (i.e. best) punning headline so far this trip...
ReplyDeleteWe've been on that bus too (but only from the Port to Hvar town): they've obviously lowered the passenger density criteria over the last couple of years.
Keep on having fun.
