HVAR DAY 2
Yesterday we went to the villiage of Pitve - in the mountains of Hvar Island. We climbed to the roof of a house that is several hundred years old, and drank wine. We then went to one of two restaurants in the town, where we sat on a cliff overlooking the sea; ate delicious food, and drank homemade brandy (rakija) blended with black cherries and rose petals.
Hvar Day 1
We took the 230 ferry from Split to Hvar. We’ll be staying here for 3.5 days.
It is an island in the Adriatic. The water is clear down to about 75 feet deep, perfectly still, and so salty that you can literally float without trying to stay above water. As you swim you can see the mountains 50 miles away on the Croatian mainland.
Lavendar grows naturally on the island.
