Hvar

Our first stop was the island of Hvar. Hvar tends to get more sun that most others, and if you get more than 4 hours rain in a day, all hotels will give you a discount on your bill, and if it snows, your stay is free!


The main square

After lazing on the boat deck all day (hard work!), I thought I'd better get some exercise, so walked up the hill to the old fort, while the others shopped and drank beer!
Here are some views from the hill.









That evening we went out to a fish restaurant, and boy did they have the bigggest tuna steaks I have ever seen in my life! A bit fatty though. It was quite a challenge eating for some, as the table was on the old cobblestones, so wasn't very straight, so whoever had a very saucy dish would have their sauce spilling over the sides onto the table! The local house wines were delicious, provided you enjoyed drinking vinegar!
That night everyone went down to the local party bar, but boy was it crowded, so I didn't stay very long.
