Day 11 (Saturday)
As is tradition we started with breakfast from the bakery in
Komiza. A cherry strudel thing for me
and frankfurter in a bread roll thing for Tracey. It was then time to go back to our room, pick
up our luggage and sharpen our elbows for the bus trip to Vis Town.
Arriving at the bus stop in plenty of time meant that we could
put our luggage in the boot of the bus and our chances of not sitting in the
stairwell increased dramatically. The
bus driver let us all on and we started to be roasted alive in the bus. It got so bad that even the Croatians started
shouting to the driver to turn on the air con.
The driver replied that is was on (at least that’s what I think he
said). Once the bus started to move the
air con did start working and our lives were saved.
The ferry crossing back to Split was uneventful and then on
to the catamaran to the town of Bol on the island of Brac. We had booked accommodation at the Villa Giardino:
This is the first place we have booked ‘on the go’. It’s a bit above budget but we’ll try and
save on the next one ;-)
We were told that it was just up the hill from the
harbour. After walking up four different
hills we finally found it! The owner
(Christine) took pity on us and furnished us with a glass of homemade lemonade –
delicious. Christine recommended the
restaurant Mendula for our evening meal which was further up the hill (well, at
least it was downhill on the way back).
The meal was great and we finished with complimentary liquors. A grappa for me and something that tasted of
pear drops for Tracey. I’m not sure what
was in it but Tracey certainly had some bizarre dreams as a result. I won’t go into too much detail but it
included a funeral, Inspector Lewis and time travel.
The internet connection here is still really slow so I’m
afraid there are no photos.
