The waterfront. Where we usually lived, under the shade of an umbrella with a beer in hand. Ahh, the life. |
Day one in Split - a tasty sammy on the waterfront. |
On the way up the narrow bell tower stair case. |
The view from half-way up. Already impressive. |
It was a little on the rickety side! Just don't look down! |
|
Hot, sweaty and pasty at the top. |
The view from the top was incredible. |
|
|
Bell tower of the cathedral of Saint Doimus. The bell tower is Split's main symbol. |
Cute house in Split's old town. |
The awesomist statue we've ever seen. Gandalf perhaps? |
Not Gandalf but in fact, Gregory of Nin. |
We just had to rub his toe. |
And clean his toenails. |
There, nice and clean. |
|
|
|
|
My ice-cream took a nose dive into my shorts. Hence the wet patch. Honest! |
A tasty drop of local lager. |
|
We took the espresso many a time and they were damn tasty too. |
View from the harbour from where we would eventually set sail from. |
Captain tries to steal the shot. |
This time he succeeds! |
Lunch on day two after the arrival of everyone. |
Our trolly load of supplies. For some reason the thin wharfs weren't designed to handle a trolly load of food and booze. |
It was a three man job. |
But we made it. |
Now, I wonder if the trolly can fit down the plank? |
Our home for the next 7 days! The Nautitech 40. |
Andy pops out of his escape hatch. |
Some of the crew - Jess, Tanya, Kate, Ben and Josh. |
Gini, Nicky |
Captain Beer |
A tasty rose with a beautiful sunset behind. |
|
|
First morning on the boat - and we've set sail! |
|
Skip, as he was affectionately known. A local skipper who was pretty bloody awesome. |
|
|
Hmm. Petar Hektorovic - a Croatian writer. At Stari Grad on Hvar island. |
|
4 different types of awesome fish for dinner. |
|
|
Basking in the sun. |
Suck it in Andy! Hold it! Now say cheese! |
Second stop on the voyage - Hvar town, on Hvar Island. |
|
The view from the top of the castle was spectacular. |
|
|
|
Another beautiful sunset. |
Another night on the drinks! |
|
A lamb feast for all. |
Oops. Someone never saw the island coming. |
Ahoy there! |
|
|
Snoozing in the cabin. |
We swam through this rock. On the other side was a cute little cafe offering instant coffee and water. |
Tom, climbing the cliff of death. |
Plummeting to the sea below. |
|
|
|
Josh and Marcus row in circles on their way to the blue cave. |
Our turn was next. |
The tiny entrance to the blue cave. |
|
Inside the blue cave it was all .... surprisingly blue! |
|
|
|
Lounging on one of the many pebbly beaches. |
|
A spot of mini golf. |
Where Gini beat Tom, again. |
Hole in one! |
|
|
This night they took us on a windy drive out to a remote farm and the best dinner ever. |
|
|
|
|
Donkey! They treat their donkeys well. |
And even let them travel for free. Donkey is near the front. |
Snoozing on the boat hammock. |
Snoozing all round. |
Another view - possibly from Vis? |
