Caught in Korcula

Korcula is picture postcard stuff. We stayed in Korcula town. The old town of which is the beautiful walled town I mentioned. We had an apartment looking out towards the mainland and some other islands. The view was partially obscured by pine trees. This just added to the effect. Boats and ferries kept going backwards and forwards all the time. We could walk across the very quiet road outside the apartment, climb down the steps of the town wall and go swimming. The water was amazingly clear. We borrowed snorkelling gear off Steph and Michael and saw quite a few fish and an eel caught in a cage.

We had only planned on spending a day or two in Korcula but things conspired against us. Firstly, poor Jackie tripped and injured her ankle. Mel and I had arranged to meet the others at a cool bar on the roof of one of the defensive towers of the town. When Jackie arrived it was dark and she didn't notice a concrete slab on the floor. It's part of the structure of the building but was poorly marked. Worse still, getting to the bar meant crawling up a steep ladder and through a small hole. Jackie successfully negoitated all of this but we decided that it wouldn't be good for her to travel with it like that so we stayed another night.

Strange ferry schedules and full buses meant that we ended up staying three nights in all. We were a bit lucky to get Jackie on a ferry to Split to catch her flight.

Whoops.times nearly up. Bye
