Eating fish and getting to Kurcula.

As planed i get up around 6am to go buy some fresh fish, just brought in by the fishermen. A 800 gr. nice fish. Again the day, until lunch time is simple. Rest in the sun and swim in the clear waters of Croatia.


After eating the delicious fish is in great amounts, we check out. I realize my Serbian is not so good since i understood 30 a night and it was in fact 40... anyway it was a nice resting stay and the nice newly furnished flat was worth it, especially in Croatia in the highest peak of tourism.


We then easily get to our next ship that will take us to Korcula. The driver is another nice army guy. He is responsible for linkage between NATO and Croatian army. A dedicated swimmer he tells us about challenges to swim to islands and how great his sons are :) And according to him, Korcula is one of the greatest places in world for sure! Of course he speaks of the island not the main ctiy which has the same name and is overcrowded with tourists at this time of the year. It is a bit of a chock after quiet Trpanje.

Getting into Korcula town.

Windsurfers are well served with a nice wind today.

An other beautiful sunset!

We check into the backpacker i visited two years ago, the One Love Hostel. It was one of the great places i visited in Croatia and i thought i d check if the owner, Zlatko, winner of some south African Big Brother, would recall my face... And he did! What funny times i had there with Fran and Carlyn and the Aussie cook. We made a bit of a mess that night in one of the dorms and that is the reason he remembers us... So we check into the two last available beds. As we get into the dorm first surprise, the price has almost doubled, once about 70 or 80 Kn it is now 130kn ... As he said, business is running man! And the beers down in his small bar are the most expensive in town as well... The place remains packed, mostly with Aussies, Kiwis, Englishmen and girls and rare other backpackers... Whatever, we go for a walk and i realize it was much much nicer in the end of September... we ll get out of here tomorrow first hours.
