Cruising Croatia

Escaping the rain and wind that London calls "summer" I was lucky enough to spend a weekend with great friends in Croatia.

Landing in Split I was taxied to the jetty where a sea taxi chartered the waters to arrive at the beautiful island of Hvar.

Without delay my friends and I dinned at the delightful Gariful Restaurant. We sampled some of the local Rose and devoured a simply mouthwatering seafood platter.

Checking in to the gorgeous Amfora Hotel, Hvar, we wasted no time in hitting the pool and indulging in a couple of Banana Daiquiris (I highly recommend to anyone staying in Hvar).

With a carefree feel to the day we casually strolled to Hula Hula bar where we saw the tail end of the most beautiful sunset and laughed our night away.

Morning rose and we set out on the water adventure of a lifetime! Making friends with 3 Americans over daiquiris the evening before our group had become a total of 8.  Boarding the boat we set off to see the green caves, blue caves, stop for a coffee on the island of Vis and during our travels we saw one of the best toys around...a giant slide off the side of a cruiser - epic!

Croatia was a glimpse of heaven and I would highly recommend anyone who has not been to give it a visit. I will be heading back next year in July and I am already counting down the days - bliss!
