The journey continues....Hvar

Our trip towards Hvar was a bit rough & was the day John was a little uncomfy & I did the roll around the wheel & bashed my head. Still quite sore to touch but otherwise I am good...the sea was quite rough with winds more than 32 knots..not sure just now...
As Hvar is very noisy & touristy, we stayed on Palmazhana about a 15 min water taxi trip away...even that was really crowded because of the weather.  Took the taxi across & walked to the fort at the top of town..over 200 steps...did the photo thing & headed down for a reviving drink & some dinner.
Wed we headed towards Stari Grad with a stop in a little cove for a swim in the Adriatic...bloody cold ..but the water is so clear & blue...not azure like at home.  We did lots of sailing that day & it was great flying along in the wind.  We loved Stari Grad..as I have said before...Johnny has found a property to develop right on the waterfront...great potential for yachties!!!  Our 2nd night in Stari Grad, John & the others went for a tour inland on motor scooters....said it was beautiful...lots of lavender fields & vineyards & olive trees...plus a sign to a nudist camp..but they held back on visiting that!!.
Yesterday, being Lynleyś birthday, we cruised around looking for quiet places to pull in a have a swim...& ended the day in a cove about 1,5hours from Split as we had to be back in the marina by 8,00am today.  We had decorated the boat for Lynley with streamers, birthday banner, balloons, & plastic blow up birthday cake...we all had a great day...which ended with us eating everything that was left in the way of food for dinner..plus the last little bit of alcohol.
It was quite a letdown to have to hand back our boat this morning & to say goodbye to our friends.  We can still feel the ground moving beneath us...& it is worse in the shower when you close your eyes to wash your hair!!!  But I´m sure we´ll be landlubbers again soon.  Love to all...
