The isle of Brac....

I have decided to go to Brac to chill before the moto party of Brac which I have now found out is organised by the Brac branch of the Croat Moto Klub.  The ride from Dubrovnik to Split was pretty uneventful other than the fact that I followed a sign for the motorway to Split and was surprised that I was the only one using it, that is until 3 miles later I ended up at a quarry.  I can only presume it is still being built.  The sign had said Split 76 km.  I found my way back to the road where I was greeted with a sign Split 108 km.  Now I know I didn't go that far out of my way!

The other day I mentioned a view that was just too vast to photograph but I felt guilty about depriving you and so when I passed it today I took some photos and I hope that they do it justice, but I did try.

I arrived at Split port and booked my return tickets to Brac and was quite surprised it only cost about £24 return.  I then went to an internet cafe and booked a hotel for four nights, thinking I was going to chill and plus it would give me a nice place to rest my head if I'd been partying.  The hotel I chose was the hotel Vrilo in Postira.
I arrived at this really pretty fishing village and found I'd chosen a brilliant hotel.  My room on the second floor has a balcony overlooking the harbour. ( see sunset picturefrom the room further down) .
That was the good news, the bad news was that when I arrived I was told the hotel's internet had been down today and when I made my booking they were unable to show that they were fully booked :(
The receptionist Paola said that I could stay tonight and have breakfast and wouldn't be charged which I thought that was really decent of her.    She also then spent ages trying to help me find a hotel and even told me about the bike party and where it is. In fact my new hotel is nearer to the party so that's a bonus but I bet there is no way it can be as lovely as this place. I will definitely be back.
 Anyway time for more photos of scenery, blue sky and sea. Sorry...

  1. Hi Rob, I think you have found somewhere you like even more than France. Good move to go to Brac. Nice to be able to make plans as you go along. Look how it has worked out. Hotel sounds bostin - Is this the way to Ama-Vrilo?. Whoever chose the colour of all those roof tiles did a good job. They make for some beautiful photographs and set off the blueness of everything. Hope the biker bash goes well. Keep flying the flag for the IOM and TT as I know you will. Can see it will be cracking the flags for you once more today. Keep safe, love Chris. x :)
