We made it to Split in time to catch a late morning ferry to Hvar Island. The water was fairly calm and we actually got a bit of school work done. After that we still had time to enjoy some of the scenery as we passed by a few islands.
The islands remind me of Greece. The soil is very dry, and the islands are far from lush. You can see rocky bits everywhere.
We ate lunch in Hvar town before we started our search for accommodations. By this time the sky had cleared and it was getting very hot. We checked out a number of places, but none seemed as good as what we had just left. We finally settled on a new place which is a very nice little apartment. Its only fault is that it is not right beside the beach. Poor us, we have to drive a few kilometres to get to the beach!
The beaches on Hvar are mostly rocky or pebble beaches. I kind of like it though. When you come back from the beach you don’t have sand in everything. By the time we reached the beach it was late in the day. It’s a quiet little cove with a tiny island, just big enough for a lighthouse just off shore. I’m sure we’ll be back for another swim here later in the week.
