Hangin' in Hvar

Earlier in our trip we met some backpackers from the University of Florida who encouraged us to add Hvar to our Croatia itinerary. Heeding their advice, we boarded a ferry from Split bound for the small island.

Once ashore we were reminded why so many Europeans vacation in Croatia: green mountains, warm sunshine, blue water, and cheap beer... a small slice of paradise!

Our favorite Hvar experiences:

- Riding on the jam-packed bus between the ferry dock and Hvar Town. There was standing room only but that didn't stop the driver from speeding down mountain roads, brazenly passing bicyclists and motorists as he used his cell phone.

- Walking through the harbor, people watching and gawking at the expensive yachts.

- Watching the beautiful sunset from the deck of the ferry.


Next stop: Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina
