Every vacation needs a vacation


Hvar is my oasis, a place to recharge after living out of backpacks and suitcases for close to 6 weeks now.

We spend our days in total leisure - wake up, breakfast of bread and nutella or jam + tea, lay around, go to the beach, lay around, swim in the ocean, nap on the sun soaked rocks, nap in the shade, picnic, go home and wash the salt off, (do other stuff), make dinner, walk around town, go on motorcycle adventures in the country side, come home and fall into bed.

Things I like about Hvar:
1. Privacy - we have our own place... with air conditioning. Extravagant and unnecessary, but awesome.
2. Swimming in the Adriatic - so cold, so clear, so refreshing. Everyday when I first jump in, I feel nothing but my lungs constricting to pea-size bags, and the warmth of my bladder releasing around me. I wonder if that is survival mechanism?
3. Freedom from conformity - no street names in the labrynth that is the hillside of homes in Hvar, no bathing suit tops, no worries.
4. Foreign tongues.
5. Croatian Cookies.

Things I don't like about Hvar:
1. Fighting with B.
2. Bug bites.
3. Price of groceries.
4. Splotchy internet.
5. Days going by too fast.
