Croatia - Day 9

Boat day! The only boat you can rent without a boating license, which sadly Corey nor I have, has a 10-20 horsepower engine. We are stoked though!

I took a short run and swim beforehand and Corey biked to the grocery for some sundries, then we were of


Captain Corey took us to the blue lagoon first, which took about an hour.






We started with some of the lemon liquor the house renters left us :)





Snorkeling and swimming and picnicking. A perfect day :)









We stopped in a few different days for swimming and snorkeling and then docked at a little island for lunch.


This is me and Lily :)

Our lunch spot!

We tied up our little boat










Truffle pasta ❤️




One more heavenly swimming cove. 


 
Lily declared this her favorite day of the year :)

Croatia - Day 8

 Sleeping was a bit rough. Very hot! 

Corey and I took the bikes out around 9 to explore the cove. Definitely boosts the ratings (Caden and I liked our Montenegro place better), being able to wander around and have multiple options for fresh fish.



We had coffees at this little cafe to work on our Moreau readings.

After a bit, including some time searching for houses to buy :) we headed back and rallied the team. We then headed out for lunch, since breakfast is not available when one SLEEPS UNTIL 11!!!

We walked into town and I saw my first ever pomegranate tree - which Caden spotted.

Sadly, there was not a pomegranate wine stall beneath it. Sigh.

We opted for lunch at a place called Olives, and once again had the catch of the day, but not the primo catch of the day. They classify one as first class and another as second class. Second class all the way 😉 How else could we afford 1.5 litres of wine!







This boat has so much personality :)
Maybe a future rental...

Once back, we hit the pool. I managed 1.5 laps
- which equates to probably 10 feet in a lap pool. Oh well. Rather than beat myself up, I climbed onto my lawn chair and took a nap.




The kids stayed in for hours.







Sweetest hubby in the world just rode his bike to the other side of the harbor to make me an affagotto. ❤️


Sketches in process. The fish are Caden's and the pretty shell drawing Lily's. The non-pretty one was by me.



The girls went out to dinner, just the two of them, so the boys and I hit the bay for some paddle board / shell hunting and kayaking.










Sitting on the balcony, overlooking the crepe stand right outside our door. Then low and behold, some Angst children rocked up :)





Another great day :)
