Met my group this morning, Sunday. Wasn’t sure what to expect as I knew it was mostly couples and families traveling together, only 1 other woman traveling solo like me. All is well, groups from CT, IL, CA, Fl, and Toronto.
We left Split by boat headed for Brac island, that alone was lovely, dolphins surfacing as though they were paid to be there.
We got off the boat and prepped for just shy of 30 miles. I thought, hmmm, I can do this in my sleep. Hahaha, throw in some crazy climbs and a pretty serious sun, 30 miles starts to feel a lot longer.
We stopped at a country restaurant that is owned my father and son; we ate nothing that did nothing not come from their backyard, whether meat, vegetable, or fruit…divine. But I needed a nap, not more hills. Made it through and arrived in Dol. Lovely lovely town with sleepy feel.
And tonight we sleep and eat in a home from the 15th century…held by the same family!!! The matriarch welcomed us.
I feel like I was on a movie set all day. Amazing vistas, blue water, sleepy towns with beautiful people sunning themselves on rocks. Think retro 1950, Sophia Loren….
Attaching pictures, but I need sleep, tomorrow comes soon and mileage and hills are doubled.
Put Croatia on your bucket list, it is amazing!
