Today we had a really late start leaving the dock cos it wasn’t very far to the next island. We started sailing at 10, which was good cos we didn’t get woken up briefly at 6 with the motor of the boat starting! We sailed for an hour or so, had another great lunch, had our daily jump and swim for an hour or so and then headed to the very tiny island of Brac. Brac is known for its stone making and actually has a stone making college that is world famous! But this is like literally all that is here! There was one cafe with wifi which everyone from all boats were at. It took like 15mins to walk around the whole of the town so we literally all just chilled out forthe day ... read more

This morning after our daily jump off the boat we sailed towards Korcula, which was the home of Marco Polo. We arrived after lunch and got off at the wharf. Our guide took us for a walk into the city and showed us Marco Polos house which is now mostly ruins, and the cathedral. We had another group dinner at a pizza place where all the tour groups go, then we walked up a turret to watch the sunset. There was a bar at the top of the turret and they pull any drinks you order up the side of the tower to you. It was really windy up there and we were glad we were wearing shorts because a girl had her dress blown all the way up! I bought a ring which is made ... read more

Today we all had a sleep in after being out relatively late last night! Some muuuuch later than otehrs! El and I piked early at 1am feeling our age! And got a really decent sleep which was good times! We got up in time for a really good brunch on board at 11am! the we got ready for our really busy day of lying in the sun!! So we headed up on top of the boat, El and I claimed a deck chair which was amazing and we literally just lay in the sun and slept and listened to music for an hour or so then jumped in the water off the boat and swam for about 45mins and then headed back ontop of the boat to our posies again! Life is so tough I tell ... read more

This morning we slept in for quite awhile because we had been kept awake by a couple of people in our hostel who were really loud when they got back. But at least there were no snorers! Once we got up we went to a cafe and Rach had a moccachino that was served in a cocktail glass - very cool! We got some lunch and then went for a walk around the waterfront to see if we could find a beach. We walked quite far and couldn't find one, but we came across a cute area with a couple of beachfront cafes. Just as we got there it started to pour with rain, so we settled in with a cider until the rain stopped. When we were walking back we decided we wanted to go ... read more

Hello all, apologies for the gap, internet on the island was predictably scarce. however good news I have some pictures for you since the laptop here in zadar is the best so far. transport to the hostel at pasman was suitably chaotic, albeit straightforward; first van, then tram, then bus, then bus, then ferry, then bus, then van, then walking. The ferry being the most enjoyable leg with amazing views of love island, a brilliant heart shaped island, and badly needed ocean breezes.The first obstacle - our accommodation wasn't at pasman but the next town over - mulyana (or something like that). Second was the lack of signs and English speaking townsfolk, eventually we found an American migrant who pointed us to a non-de-script housing block. From then on the island was amazing, the host Anna ... read more
