Bob and Ann in the Adriatic 2012

Korcula Side Street

We were on our own today, a vacation within a vacation. Ann took a swim in the hotel's pool before breakfast. After she ate, we walked into the old town for some sight seeing. We wandered through the narrow streets trying to stay in the shade as much as possible. I took lots of photos and we bought a couple of Marco Polo t-shirts. Supposedly, Marco Polo was born here. We got some snacks at the supermarket and then wandered back to the hotel. On the way, we stopped at a streetside cafe for lunch. I had an octopus salad while Ann had a tuna salad. We also discovered Tomaslov, the best beer in Croatia.

At the hotel, we took refuge from the blistering heat. Ann went for a swim while I got caught up with my blog while watching the Tour de France.

Our Cruise Ship

Saso arranged for an evening happy hour cruise for us. We all boarded an old stinkpot and cruised the islands around Korcula while sipping wine, munching on snacks and taking photos. We also got to sing Happy Birthday to Veronica. The boat dropped us off in Korcula just as the sun had set and the full moon had risen. It was an excellent photo op.

Ann and I walked back to the hotel, stopping a sidewalk cafe for a platter of cheese and prosciutto. The cafe had a man playing a guitar and singing oldies - "Wake Up Little Susie" in Korcula????

Here is a link to the photos that I took today.
