Sunny skies!

After we finished our last post the rain cleared and the sun started shining. We rented a scooter and went galavanting about the country side of Hvar. Geoff was the driver of our 100cc scooter and did so with ease, manuvering around the steep country roads taking us to see sights that will never be forgotten.

It was nice to get out of the press of the city. It felt as if we had finally had an experience that was somewhat unique, which is something that we had been craving since we began our trip and where faced with the picture-taking, ice cream-eating hoards of tourists.


It was so much fun striking out on our own that when we reached the end of the paved road we decided to test the off road capabilities of our scooter. This might not have been the wisest move, but the man inspecting the scooter for damage at the end of the day didn't suspect a thing.


Another welcome relief from the yacht-oggling ice cream eaters was the hike that we took up to the medieval fortress overlooking the harbour. The view was spectacular and we were able to have some quiet moments taking in the scenery.


We left Hvar early yesterday morning and survived the worlds roughest and most vomit-filled ferry ride enroute to Split. The details are too grizzly to post, so let's just say we were both glad to have our Ipods to drown out all of the hurling.
We've had a good (but a bit cloudy and rainy) 2 days in Split and leave tomorrow afternoon for Athens, Greece. We'll update again soon. Love to all our friends, family and random bloggers!

I was very tempted to read the 100+ comments but I only read these 4 above mine. Therefore excuse me if I repeat anything someone else has said before.

I enjoyed reading ur page today because I really appreciated a good person's words. I mean, I don't know you but you have friends, a great relationship with your love and family, and you have a job that is dedicated in helping others. And your genuine words couldn't be read at a more convenient time for myself.

Bottom line, I'm very happy for you about everything you've shared with me.. Err.. Us. :-P And may you continue to make others smile and prosper.

God bless you & yours DeeDee.

Hi! I can see that you visited my country. I'm glad that you like it.
Next time go to Mljet,perfect island of dreams. Little island with a lake and island inside. Than Pag ,again island but rocky island. It looks like you had landed on the moon. Rocks with green oases.Beautiful and clean see. Did you smell the air of the Hvar? Full of plants aroma. I live in Zagreb and I've been in Malinska on the island Krk this year,two weeks earlier. Also beatiful. I had a good weather.
Be good, be nice , be well!
Bye!

You have taken some beautiful pictures! What you do at Bridges is wonderful as I have epilepsy and know what it is like to be disabled. I am okay now and finally found the right medications but for 2 years I could not work or drive a car so I've been down that read and feel for these people. It's so nice to know there are still nice people in this world! God Bless.
