Korcula

This island seems to be the pinnacle of our island hopping adventures. And quite rightly too as its the last island we are visiting before a trip into Montenegro and then a couple of weeks in Dubrovnik and the mainland.

The ferry trip yesterday turned out to be a very relaxed affair, having a snooze in the sun whilst listening to Bon Marley and wondering what the island of korcula has to offer. We haven't had an easier arrival yet on this trip, hopping straight off the ferry only to be greeted by a sea taxi charging a whole £1 to take us directly to our campsite.

As we arrived, we felt the relaxed nature of this island in all it's glory. "pitch up and go and pay later, reception is closed" said the hotel concierge, and within 15 minutes of being off the boat we were floating around in the sea, fish swimming around our ankles, and basking in the afternoon sun.

We had a stroll into the town of korcula in the evening, which is a beautiful town, geared around the tourist
Yachts with a very French feel to it. In fact the whole island feels much more French than croatian, with pine forest covering the majority of land, and smal terracotta villages littering the island.

However the layed back croatian ways die hard, and the towns and people move more slowly than the three-decade old taxi boats. Ideal for a last few days of relaxation before another trip into the unknown..
