Hvar Town

The walk into Hvar town is almost all down hill from our apartment. As we started, there were some pretty good views of some of the smaller islands in the distance. We plan to visit some of them tomorrow.

Today we wandered through the streets of old Hvar. It's really a cute little town. It has wide marble streets along the water front, and tiny little streets that remind me of Greece further in from the shore.

We did a little shopping and found a few things, then had some lunch and wandered around a little more. By this time it was starting to get pretty hot so we hiked back to the apartment. Of course it was pretty much all up hill this time!

The girls were anxious to get to the beach and swim in their new suits. Aren't they cute! It's funny because we were looking for swim suits for a while. They are so modest in Thailand and India that they don't really sell bathing suits, especially for kids, because they go to the beach in t-shirts and shorts or pants. Now here we are finding some bathing suits but a lot of the swim suits for little girls come only with the bottoms!
