Yesterday we were exhausted, but after 9.5 hours of sleep we are doing better. This island is very relaxing. We were finally able to fall asleep at a normal European time. The days so far have been about 90-95 degrees, dipping down into the high 70's at about 6 or 7 pm, so the days are hot and nights goregous. It says warm enough that we really haven't noticed any flies, bugs, mosquitos, ect. Despite spf 50, Janna is still getting more freckles and Sue is pulling down a bit of a tan. In Dubrovnik and here, we have enjoyed going out swimming at about 8am and again at about 6pm, as the water is warm and the air is warm too. We have started coming in during the middle of the day to stay out of the worst sun.
We have a kitchen here, so we had omelets for breakfast with some native vegetables. It was nice to know what you are eating again. We tried to buy a dozen eggs, but they would only sell us 10 in a carton. We also couldn't find mustard to save our lives. We made delicious veggie sandwiches at the beach. Bread here is astoundly good and cheep. We also ate some unbelievable native cherries.
Today we went to Zlatni Rat beach, a famous beach in Croatia. The is a beautiful stone shaded walkway to it. It is a pebbly beach, (which is the closest thing they have to sand here) that sticks out into the sea and shifts place as the currents shift. When we left the beach at about 1:00, there were boats coming from all the surrounding islands and people were flocking there. I am sure it gets insanely crowded. We are going to go back later today. There are also a lot of wind surfers here, and I think I read somewhere that it is one of the best wind surfing places in the world.
