Stari Grad to Tiha Bay

 Walked around Stari Grad this morning: 

The Croatian Renaissance poet and writer Petra Hektorovic who lived from 1487-1572 was a Christian thinker and built the Tvrdalj Fort which held as much meaning for him as his literary work.

The pool which is full of fish: 



Garden shed with a slate roof: 
Barbecue area with water well: 
Inscription above the door: Alas, the days flow by like water and do not return! 

Olive press: 
Cafe on the point leaving Stari Grad: 
Headed to Tiha Bay, Hvar on a bouy. Our private “beach”.
Our neighbour, German entrepreneur Reinhold Wurth, Vibrant Curiosity.  With the helicopter at the ready. 
Didn’t have to pay anyone to moor us as Ron and  Romano hooked us up to the bouy and Ronnie dived in and tied the boat to the shore for extra security. 
Our lunch: 
Veli Dolan for traditional Octopus Peka (slow cooked) for
dinner.
