Swimmiing and Storming




We decided we needed an easy day so caught a taxi boat across to Parmazana on the St Klemen’s island. After landing, we walked across to the other side of the island and found a shady spot under some pine trees. The bay had crystal water the colour of turquoise. We settled down on our slab of marble, - it is supposed to be the best local beach - but our marble slab was better than the stoney beach.

We swam and read and swam again beforSwimminge going to a restaurant with perfect views over this delightful little view. It is obviously a favourite with boaties as about a dozen yachts bobbed around in the bay.

We caught the 4 pm taxi boat back and collapsed for a late afternoon siesta.

Soon after 6 pm, we were recuperated enough to attempt the climb to the castle which towered above our apartment. Even Hagar could have pulled this one off. With about a 20 minute walk and not an archer or boiling oil in sight, we stormed the castle, after paying our admittance fee.

The castle was interesting with an amphora museum, a prison etc but it was the views back down over Hvar made the climb worthwhile.

Did the castle have a dungeon?
Looks like a really nice few days you've had lately! So much nicer than my last few days all spent at work - erk!

Looks a bit like the top of the lake - picnicing on the rocks - except for the water colour and million dollar boats!
