I am writing from the island Hvar in Crotia and the kezboard is a little strange so I am going to go with it...we arrived here in Hvar four dazs ago. The island is amaying! There are loads of farms that grow lavendar, grapes for vino, and olive for ulje (oil). We got here from Split and to Split from Ancona, Italz.
It has been quite the adventure. Our farm staz in Italz was great but it was less farming and more hanging out than we wanted. We went on a huge hike that got us into the mountains in the Abruzzo National park. We swam in the freeying waterfall. We met some wonderful people at the farm from all over the world and now Greg tries to talk like a South Africa whenever he gets the chance.
We took a train from Sora, Italz to Ancona but got off on the wrong station...oops. The ferrz to Split was awesome! Huge ferrz that went reallz fast. We arrived in Split and walked around the old town and the Dicoletian palace. We have been doing homestays, Apartmans, here in Croatia and we love it. The people are so friendlz and want to help whenever thez can!
We got to Hvar and have stazed longer than we thought...rented a scooter one daz and explore the island. Yesterdaz we rented boat and swam in all these amaying coves around the outer islands...the water is super clear. I am sad to say that there must have been amazing coral reefs here at one time but all thez are now are bleached rocks with sea cucumbers and sea urchins. We have onlz seen small fishes and we are starting to talk like Croats, adding s to all single words...it is actuallz kinda fun.
We are putting some photos up but not lots for now, sorrz---later todaz we are off to Korcula and then to Dubrovnik on the mainland to rent our car.
Love to everzone!!
