Four Dalmations

Croatia June 14-22, 2019

Quick summary - 7 days in the Dalmatian Coast - 2 nights in Spilt, 2 nights in Hvar, 3 nights in Dubrovnik. Weather was incredible with blue skies every day, highs in the 80s and lows in the 70s. Much warmer than I expected as winds were nil. See final thoughts after.

Saturday, 6/14

Landed Dubrovnik after a new direct flight from Philly (which apparently is a big deal as all the Croatians knew about and asked us about it. Maybe the only direct flight from the US.) We were driven to Spilt to start our journey. About a 4 hour drive (and through the odd little stretch of Bosnia, which is a pain for passport checks,) it is very picturesque along the coastline seeing the water the entire time, the oyster “fields,” the agricultural valley, and vineyards all along the way. Also lots of open mouth naps en route.

We arrived to a very crowded Split...can’t imagine July and August. We were staying at the Hotel Vestibul, which is a unique and modern very small hotel carved out of the vestibul of the Diocletian Palace, a huge walled former palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, built around 230 AD and now Spilt’s Old Town. In the Dark Ages, it became a village within the walls and remains the old town today full of narrow passageways and charming nooks and piazzas. You can dodge the crowds once on the interior away from the Dalmatian singers, cruise ship crowds, weekenders, and waterfront. Once inside, you will find a sophisticated and hip world full of restaurants and shops and millions of sobe (rooms.) The Croats are not dumb with every enterprising option possible for travel to the islands, activities, açaí bowls, etc.

Tip - I’m not an AirBnB person, but Europe apparently is a great place to do it as they are all supposed to be quite nice.

A mix of all its past history, Croatian food illustrates this as evidenced on the menu. Lunch was the highlight after long travels and the hotel suggested Uje Oil, clearly a modern enterprising owner (tapas like olive oil bar) where we landed at an outside table for a perfect meal of trying the Croatian favs including Italian-like arugula pesto pasta, sausages showing the Hungarian influence, and pasticada, the traditional stew over gnocchi for a mix of the two. Known for its wines, fun fact is that Croatia has been traced as the origin of the Zinfandel grape. We dove in with a light white from Istria, the Malvasia grape. Perf. nap. Eat again at Brokeria, a very hip, casual buzzy spot inside the palace walls. A sparkling rose from Istria from the Tehran grape, octopus on the grill, pasta with truffles (in season and not crazy expensive like in Italy,) smoked seafood risotto and sea bass over a cauliflower mash. Nice. (Others to consider are Zoi and Paradox.)

Sunday, June 16

Maja #1 (pronounced Maya - 30 letters in the Croatian alphabet with lots of consonants) met us at 10am for a historical tour of the Diocletian Palace and surrounding area which was quite interesting taking you from the evolvement of all of the Croatian history from the late Roman Empire, to the Dark Ages of the Barbarians to the Middle Ages of the Christians to the Renaissance of the Venetians Empire, through to a short stint of the Napoleonic French through the Austrian Hapsburgs. (Oh and home to some of the Game of Thrones filming.)

Afterwards, we went to the Kozjak Mountain slope around the Kastel township for a private lunch. Most interesting was listening to Maja talk about where she lived. Her family was originally from the area, but her parents had left and moved to Sarajevo for better work opps. Their summer home was still in the area. When the war broke out with Serbia in 1992 invading first on the Dalmation coast, they told family to move to Sarajevo. That was poor advice as then the Serbs invaded Bosnia and Sarajevo. Her family escaped Sarajevo back to the coast. In this area, you typically lived in good size homes, but of several apartments with other family members, with your own bit of olive trees, maybe fruit trees (cherries in season now,) small vineyard, etc. Enough to make your own of each (or have small producers make for you.) Lunch setting was in a peaceful (Biblical) park with a vineyard and church backdrop. The weather was gorgeous, but hot. The five course meal was remarkable with local pairings of wine. Most notable was the Zinfandel and various types of posip and plavac mali wines.

Back for down time, which Relia and I spent in Zara before we reworked our plans of going to Dvor restaurant on the coast and hiring a boat to take us to Trogir, Croatia’s Little Venice. An small island about 30-40 minutes by car and the same by 20’ center console boat, it is a large marina area, much like the old town of charming limestone mass of buildings and not quite as crowded. The recommended restaurant of TRS was booked, so we landed at Trogar, our chef of the day’s restaurant. It was marginal at best, surprising given the sophisticated and creative meal at lunch, but Robert made us welcome with his final offer of carob rakija liquor. (Other restaurant options suggested was Alka and Marijana.) Back to Split by Uber, plentiful and cheap and always an unusual sensation to me at home and really strange overseas. To bed.

Monday, June 17

Thomas, the Atlantic Marine outfitter skipper met us at the town port just in front of the main gate and Hotel Vestibul entrance in a 25’ motor boat. A two hour ride to the Pakleni Islands off Hvar Island for sun and fun. First swim spot was Stonica, (loved the circled up catamarans pumping pop music for a week of partying. On then to Palmizana Island that has 3 restaurants - we chose the Langanini Bar for lite bites, cabanas, bean bags, and tree cabanas. Most expensive meal yet! but a great change up of Asian food. We headed for Havr Grad (town) to check into the Adriana Spa Hotel, right on the main harbor riva (promenade.) Quite modern, perhaps OTT and thus lacking in some practicalities and maybe Fodor’s is right that it sometimes misses on the 5 star with just small hiccups.) BUT still very lux, sleek and incredible views. We didn’t spa, but it seemed top notch if you like that. Serious breakfast buffet included.

Met our guide at 5pm for an 11k walk to the abandoned village of Malo Grablje for a special dinner at the “home” of a former resident’s whose son opened a restaurant here 10 years ago. The hike was beautiful along the coastal path, but could be shortened by taking a car to the path rather than walking from the hotel. Also would be cooler at this hour since the road is exposed to the afternoon sun and rather toasty. Eat a snack before you go and it is rocky so sturdy shoes. The village was just left by all the inhabitants in the 1960s and now too many family members own the buildings, so they can’t agree on selling anything.

The meal was spectacular with the traditional one pot dish slow cooked in the coals of Peka made with veggies, meats (ours was lamb and veal) or seafood, house made wine and warm just-made sugar coated almonds with Proshec (carob liquor) to finish. Taxi home for sure.

Tuesday, June 18

We met Filip, +385 99 8097 097, our new skipper who was funny and confident with incredible English learned from gaming on War Craft. Off to the Blue Cave, which is a grotto from the volcanic island of Bisevo of incredible blues from the light seeping in under the rock formations. Beautiful and unique, but skippable. Its crowded, though they move the small touring boats along quickly.

We were ready to escape the crowds and swim, so we toured rugged and cave areas of Vis and then to Stinivia cove for a swim. Fairly crowded and the water some debris since its a cove, but still the Adriatic color and temp is totally refreshing. The bathing suit and nationality watching is unending entertainment.

Though there is a small cafe there, we bailed and headed to the port town of Vis Grad which Filip described as large, but was actually small and rather sleepy. He made quick reservation at Tavern (Konoba) Vatrica, which was perfect. Covered terrace on the waterfront, casual with ham and cheese, grilled prawns, salad with creamy feta, Vis rose...perfect. Back for a few more swims at yesterday’s caves by way of the WWI tunnels and lookout plus the WWII submarine tunnel hideout since it was an allied base. The Yugoslavs took it over as there military areas post war.

Cleaned up and a drink in the Hotel Top Bar for the views, a few hands of cards and then a walk to the sunset and apres beach scene at Hula Hula. Def. a scene with bride tribes and more. Canceled our dinner at Gariful - tired of sit down spots and headed to Filip recommended Lola, a small, back street, alley outdoor cafe of excellently prepared “street food”, action packed with the young and DJ thumping remix 90s tunes. Filip also recommended Passarola, a cool and hip looking restaurant off the town square alley with several terraced garden spaces. Would have been perf if we wanted a less casual spot. Back for a rooftop finale round of cards...can’t get enough of the view.

Wednesday, June 19

Yay! Back in the boat with Filip to head to Dubrovnik by way of Korcula, Orebic, and Ston. Korcula, home of Marco Polo and the Silk Road, is a charming town and would be a great place to stay a night or two. Then onto Orebic, on the Peljesac peninsula, considering the best wine growing region in Croatia. We had a stop for a wine tasting at Korta Katarina, a winery estate and lux hotel started by Americans. It was interesting, but unless you are really into wine, skippable. On to Ston, home of the best oysters in the world. A short boat ride to an oyster farmer’s private island to learn about how the oysters are grown, and then a delightful starter of oysters and huge pot of mussels alla buzzara (in white wine, olive oil, garlic and onions) under the shade by the water. Also homemade wine and myrtle berry infused grappa, a very typical aperitif throughout. D.I.V.I.N.E.

Back in the van for an hour trip along the coastline to Dubrovnik. If you thought Spilt was crowded, wow. Though a much smaller city than Spilt, it feels WAY more crowded and much more intense because of being located on the hillside as well as the old city attraction....not to mention the Game of Thrones/Kings Landing magnet.

A reservation mix up which had us for 3 nights at the Excelsior Hotel, switched us to their sister hotel Bellevue. Our Croatian travel agency Calvados Club upgraded our rooms significantly as a result and while it is a 20 minute walk to town vs. a 5 minute walk, it is a smaller hotel, larger rooms and totally renovated on a gorgeous cove that made it feel very private (despite the public beach - all Croatian beaches are public.) Lovely indoor pool, unreal views, very hip and cool. We may have turned out better in the long run.

Poor planning on our fault when we booked the Michelin starred restaurant in Dubrovnik - 360 - for dinner after the oyster and mussels fest. But we were ready and it was quite the gastronomic affair with delightful views and service.

Thursday, June 20

Maja #2, met us to take us to the 3 hr kayak tour from the old city by Fort Lovrijenac around the island of Lokrum and back. Very fun. A few dips and viewing of the nudie beach...a head shaker for me. We walked home so Will could grab a recommended xxxcici sammy while the rest of us ate at the Bellevue beachside cafe and lounged Adriatic style at the Bellevue carved out private beach with umbrellas and chaises, and beach boys while watching the cliff jumpers and reading on the rocky beach. The water temp is just perfect and the water is incredibly clear. I am a huge Adriatic fan.

Maja picked us up at 4 pm for a walking tour of the Old Town concluding with the one mile walk around the city walls for amazing views of the yachts, charming houses, islands and Adriatic. Ready for another break from traditional food and restaurants, we hit a bar on the water built into the walls before having “CroAsian” food at Azur in one of the back/side streets. It was casual and delicious. Highly recommend.

Friday, June 21

Off to the Konavle valley, also known for its wineries and vegetable fields, and fruit orchards to Grude for biking through the countryside and vineyards. Gorgeous backdrop of the stone mountains, cypress trees and once gain crystal blue skies. This area was so named for its system of canals used to irrigate the crops....Roman aqueducts brought water to the area. Very bucolic and well known for its wine and history. A two hour on and off road before meeting Maja to go to a local farm in Cilipi at the home of Marin Vukorep (Marin.vukorep@du.t-com.hr) for a delightful meal very similar to Malo Grablje, but maybe more fun with everything consumed from the farm (prosciutto, goat cheese, bread, olive olive, vegetable purée soup, peka, red and white wine and over 10 homemade rakija varieties with fig, walnut, apricot, etc. Lots of fun - gorgeous setting, relaxing, interesting and another gorgeous day. Debated going to the seaside town of Cavtat, but too full and sleepy!

Back for more Adriatic indulgence and a regroup on dinner (again) after such a large lunch. Bailed on Posat wanting a casual place and discussed Bar Bota for mussels, Kamenice, Tabasco pizzeria, Taj Mahal Bosnian food and Levanat in the Lapad area, but ended up at Mea Culpa pizzeria in the Old Town which was perfect. And that’s a wrap.

Saturday, June 22

Well, not quite as William and I were awaiting the Fort opening at 8am to check it out since we could still use our wall ticket. Check. So long for now.

Final thoughts - We loved everything we did, where we stayed, food and history. The two things we might have changed were the Blue Cave and wine tasting. Everything else was great with enough time to sightsee and yet enjoy the summer time water activities. We might change a few things, but it really depends on one’s MO. We might have stayed in Trogir or Hvar and done a day boat trip to Spilt and Trogir for at least 3 or even 4 nights in the islands perhaps with an overnight in Korcula and maybe just two nights in Dubrovnik. The history is incredible dating back to the Greeks and Romans and throughout right up to modern day with the too recent Yugoslav wars. Mid June is already packed and I would not even think about going in July or August unless you stay on a boat or in the islands. May would be too early for me to enjoy water fun, but Sept should still be very good. Plus July and August would be really hot. Climate is just like NC - hot and humid with lots of the same vegetation. The Croatians are very proud of their country and really do tourism well. It is not a sophisticated 3rd world country like Italy, though there probably is still lots of government corruption and low wages. It is a energized and modern that is savvy about its tourism.

DAY SIX

Hajnali hatkor magamtól ébredtem. A kutya a sarokban búrkiflibe tekeredve aludta az igazak álmát. Kinéztem az ablakon és konstatáltam, hogy a beígért eső megérkezett így csendben visszafeküdtem. 8 körül ébredtünk végleg. Rövid séta után a fedett részen megreggeliztünk, majd vártuk a csodát. Bíztunk az iphone szakértelmében és abban, hogy 11kor valóban kisüt a nap és mehetünk rommá pörkölni a testünket. 

Reisz András fasorban sincs az telefon atompontos időjárás alkalmazásához képest. Véget ért az eső és kibújt a nap felhők közül. Nem volt az a klasszikus, kollégám által csak „padonbaszó hőség”-ként aposztrofált meleg, de pont alkalmas egy rövid kirándulásra. Korábban kinéztem Dobrinj nevű hegyi falut, mely az öbölből is jól látszott a kimagasló harangtornyával. Utcái olyan szűkek, hogy a helyieken kívül más autóval be sem tud hajtani. A falu határában egy „svejci” paraszttal megharcoltunk a parkolóért. Rövid szócsatát, majd szúrós nézést követően átengedtem neki. Az a tipikus tacaj volt, aki atlétában és vietnámi papucsban ül be egy három Michelin-csillagos étterembe is, „Nyaralunk, baszod, há’ nehogymá’ ne!” alapon. 

Hangulatos szűk utcák, kellemes kávézók és egy árnyékos főtér jellemezte a települést. A panoráma mesés volt az öbölre, illetve a szemközti hegyvonulatra. Mellon is boldog volt hiszen felporszívózhatott pár érett fügét az egyik terebélyes fa alól.

 A nap egyre magasabbra hágott és keményen izzasztotta már a csapatot, ideje profilt váltani, mehetünk a strandra. Elsőre a Cizici beach-csel próbálkoztunk, de az árnyékos helyek mind foglaltak voltak és a sátrat pár másodperc alatt tépte volna ripityára az orkán erejű szél. Természetesen útitársnőm is közölte, hogy ő itt bizony fázik. Nem szerettem volna, hogy szegényem melegítőben strandolj így visszacihelődtünk a kocsihoz, majd Klimno szélvédett standját céloztuk be. Páran voltak csak, szabadon engedett kutyákkal. Ahogy megérkeztünk, Mellont egyből becsicskították a terelő jellegű ebek, aki természetesen hanyatt verte magát nekik a legnagyobb megadásba. Jobbnak láttam elengedni őt is. Először jó döntésnek tűnt, majd miután ismételten beindult a fékezhetetlen elméje, visszarendeltük magunkhoz. Eleinte ügyesen eljátszottak az újdonsült, nemzetközi haverokkal, de ez a fenevad ilyenkor fényt kap és megindul amerre lát. Ehhez párosul a megszokott süketség. Nincs az a behívósíp, ami ilyenkor érdekelné. Miután lenyugodott jókat fürödtünk, pihentünk az árnyékban.

A napot Krk-ön terveztük zárni, egy kellemes étterem teraszán. Ezúttal az Andreja Konoba kerthelyiségére esett a választás, ahol jól belakmároztunk tenger gyümölcsiből. Az általam rendelt scampi elfogyasztása után, úgy nézett ki az asztal, mint egy mészárszék. Az utolsó vacsorára tartogatott laza fehér ingemen fellelhető vörös buzzara szósz fröcsekek, óriási trancsírozásról tettek tanúbizonyságot. Nem zavart az sem, hogy a szomszéd asztalról tátott szájjal nézték végig, ahogy a diótörő szerű alkalmatossággal zúzom szét a szanaszét fröcsögő rákok páncélját. Mivel ismételten nem fogadtak el kártyát, a kp-nak meg jelentősen szűkében álltunk, nem kértünk desszertet, hátha nem futja ki. Az édesség iránti vágyunkat két gombóc fagyival öblítettük le a kikötőben sétálva.

Elérkeztünk az utolsó éjszakához. Gyorsan összepakoltunk, hogy reggel már csak a strandolással tudjunk foglalkozni. Az, hogy hazafelé mennyire csúszunk bele a szombati turnusváltásba, azt nem tudjuk, de mindenképpen megérte egy nappal kitolni a nyaralást.

Buzzara!

26 April

Today there are little waves with white caps and the wind is fierce. Of course we don’t feel a thing in the accommodation tower because Zheng He is so large and stable but we can’t half hear it howling at 30 knots and it picks you up when you go outside even just onto the bridge deck. The Red Sea is enclosed so big swells & huge waves don’t occur. Instead there are sandstorms that create a luminous green blur across the radar and a dark orange haze in the low sky into which the vessels in front disappear. We’re now between Sinai peninsula and Egypt towards Suez thinking of the holy land. Also flights because several incomplete resorts and unfinished new airports on the Egyptian coast speak to unrealised tourism that’s been devastated by strife in Egypt in particular and this region generally.

What do you imagine Shrimp Buzzara is? We had it for lunch ... it’s king prawns in sauce with rice. It’s really hard to peel prawns that are covered in tomato & garlic sauce and the room was silent as seafarers and passengers were united in our puzzlement, our aspiration not to make a terrible mess & the realisation we’d have to use our fingers.

Am getting up early tomorrow to be on the bridge when we leave anchorage to join the transit through the canal. There will be a pilot and a Suez crew joining us so the bridge will be busy.

Eating in and around Split

If you are a sea food lover, you have to visit Split, Croatia. We stayed in Split for 20 days, and though we cooked at home too, we tried out many restaurants especially the ones in the Old Town. I found most of the restaurants clean with excellent customer service and yes, everyone speaks in English in Split, it seems. We found the prices of our dishes pretty reasonable too and portion was always good..neither too big nor too small. Make sure you visit Luka for ice creams and cakes. That small store never disappointed us.

Buzz/Clara, Woodocha

Buzzara

shops for groceries - Buzz does the shopping, though Clara sometimes tags along and helps toss things into the cart. She ends up buying unhealthy freezer foods and candy if she does it herself. 

kills the spiders - I think they both do their share.Buzz is probably the kind to take it outside if he can instead of killing it, while Clara holds nothing back. Spiders don’t escape on her watch.

comes home drunk at 3am - If they’re drunk, they’re probably drunk together. However, out of the two, it’s more likely that Clara would go off without him to get drunk.

makes breakfast - Buzz makes breakfast. Clara: burned everything.

remembers to feed the fish - Buzz, though Clara tries. She just forgets. a lot. 

decorates the apartment - Clara. I don’t think Buzz would really mind what she does to it, as long as it’s not unbearable. Clara would try not to make it unbearable. 

initiates duets - Buzz sings for Clara, but it’s never for duets. It’s always ‘let me sing this and don’t interrupt or else i’ll get embarrassed and stop’. Clara is the one to playfully grab Buzz and blast the music and start singing some ridiculous song just to try and get him to loosen up.

falls asleep first - Buzz. He wakes up earlier than Clara so it makes sense that he would pass out before her too. He usually falls asleep in her arms as she runs her fingers through her hair and hums for him all lovey dovily. 

Woodocha

shops for groceries - Woody does. 

kills the spiders - Mocha does. Woody doesn’t deal with spiders well, and I don’t think Mocha gives a second thought to squishing them. She probably laughs about it.

comes home drunk at 3am - Neither, they’re homebodies.

makes breakfast - Woody makes breakfast, though I can imagine Mocha trying since she’s been trying to learn how to cook lately. Lots of experimental dishes are coming out of their kitchen. Fun.

remembers to feed the fish - I think both of them would remember pretty well.

decorates the apartment - I can see them getting really into it together and tossing back and forth ideas and being excited bbies about it. Like it was some giant puzzle or art piece they were trying to put together. 

initiates duets - Woody. Everyday. ‘At last I see the light~’ Stop.

falls asleep first - Woody, face nuzzled into her hair, holding her close and doing the most cuddling cuddle you can imagine.

[woody-tow]

clara/buzz

who cooks normally? buzz better be good at cooking, learn, or be okay with eating out alot because clara burns water.

how often do they fight? I’d think they’d bicker regularly, nothing overly important, but little things like where the keys are or if clara is feeling bratty and makes up something that got on her nerves.

what do they do when they’re away from each other? clara attempts to find a job (very poorly and half-assed) or rolls around the apartment redecorating because otherwise she’d go crazy, her words. Buzz also attempts to find a job and does whatever he does.

nicknames for each other? soldierboy for buzz and i’m not sure if clara has a nickname yet. i vaguely remember something, but i’m really tired. caity, tell me of you can.

who is more likely to pay for dinner? Buzz. (clara, you come from money. jesus christ you’d think you’d be less cheap)

who steals the covers at night? clara…though tha’s if he ever lets her go enough to have room to steal them. Buzz is a snuggler. Though I’m sure he’d never admit it.

what would they get each other for gifts? Clara would give him all the clothing jackets and shirts and things she thinks he’d look good in. he’d probably get her flowers…and nice stuff(?)

who kissed who first? buzz asked if he could kiss clara on valentine’s day…and then did. (she says it was really awkward but in a sweet way)

who made the first move? clara flirted first, but she wasn’t serious. he was the first to make it into more. as a result she sometime sits in quiet asking ‘how’ because she’s pretty sure she was treating it as a joke and then it secretly turned real. though, she’s not necessarily saying that’s bad. happy twist

who remembers things? buzz

who started the relationship? buzz

who cusses more? clara (she curses like a sailor if she feels like it. i feel it’d be improper for buzz to curse too often)

what would they do if the other one was hurt? clara would first flip out, not accustomed to dealing with danger strangely enough, before getting someone else to help. buzz would probably take the situation into own hands, putting on a brave face whilst screaming internally, but also trying to get clara fixed however possible,
