We left Dubrovnik by boat in the morning, to visit the islands in the Adriatic Sea; Kolocep, Sipan and Lopud.
With bags filled with towels, bathing suits and water bottles, and an extra bag for me for the book I am reading, and my travel diary, we were ready for a day in paradise.
On the first island, Kolocep, we had only a short stop. Just enough for a cappuccino for me and Terje, icecreams for the girls and buying some postcards for my blog readers. Then it was time to continue to the next island....
......Sipan, which looked very interesting with its old fort and old houses. Not too many tourists, inhabitants living there daily lives.
I bought a crocheted fish from one lady,
have learned to say thank you - hoala,
and bought figs from another.
I am having my soso early morning hours on the terrace, viewing the Adriatic Sea, while I write this. The photos take ages to upload but I don't mind as I sit here reading "CROATIA through writer's eyes" while the computer does the job.....
I am reading just now Sir Arthur John Evans ' Through Bosnia and Herzegovina on Foot during the Insurrection of the Summer of 1875......
I learn about pirates from Venice, and try to imagine life here in the time of the fightings.
It is soo time to go back to the boat through, where the crew is busy preparing our fish lunch.
Mackerel fried on the boat, spiced with salt from the sea. The best meal I've had in Crtatia!
After the lunch there was still one island left, Lopud, which was bigger and known for its lovely sandy beach.
We let an electric car drive us over the island and had a lovely swim + all the "fun" of changing first to the swim suit, then back to your ordinary clothes, on a beack packed with people, with a body covered in sweat and salt water.......
