Korcula the island holiday from heaven





Next stop was a 3 hour ferry ride to Korcula an island off the Dalmation coast, it is 47 kms. long. It was full of olive trees and vineyards and the bluest seas. We stayed in an apartment right next to an inlet with views overlooking a marina. Poor Nick he desperately wants a boat, and with all these boats sailing and laying idle is like rubbing his face into it. Adam reckons if I did not spend the money on the kitchen (now called the galley) Nick would have a boat. The walk we did to the next village Lombarda for 45 mins was fantastic as was the village itself. After climbing numerous steps we discovered the vineyards. Walking through those was something out of a book. We found our way back to the sea and discovered a little restaurant tucked away under vines.

The smells emanating were inviting to say the least. After sharing a plate of local fare and a few beers and the free local liquer we realised the last bus was leaving soon. As we scrambled across the white rocks we realised we were not going to make it. Luckily they had a water taxi who took us across the water to our town. That was great. What a day we had ! Great to share that with the others. Off to our next adventure to the well known Dubrovnik.
