Actually got up early today to have brekky with the Banks family before they left. Walked to the bus with them to say farewell. We're planning to take ferry to Trogir for the day but being Sunday there were none going. Went to town beach instead for a while but too hot to stay in the sun for too long. Decided a nanna nap was a good idea followed by last minute bargains at the markets. Met Sam for drinks and then Craig and Maria joined us. Stephen continued to emb...

Nothing in the morning as didn't get out of bed till very very late not feeling very well. Ran into Sam, Charlotte and George so all went to the beach together. Poor Charlotte was very unwell so made me feel better. Caught bus to beach and had a swim, rocks everywhere that really hurt my soft feet. All met up again back in town and went out for dinner as most people leaving in the morning. A very quiet day after last night.

Official birthday celebrations tonight at a wonderful restaurant beneath the tower. We a...

Lazy morning and a bit of shopping at the market before catching a ferry to Hvar which is an island about an hour away. John and Libby were waiting for us with their beautiful boat. We all got on board and went sailing (mainly powered as no wind) around the island stopping for a few swims - MAGNIFICENT. What wonderful hosts they were, supplying food and drink all day for all of us and then taking us to the other side of Hvar to catch the ferry back to Split. The ...

Up early and had coffee on the promenade to wait for the Banks family to show them to the hotel. Went wandering around in the morning then Dave hired an old van and 10 of us went to a national park (krka) with waterfalls and had a swim, it was fantastic, well worth the drive as was about 80 km away. All met up for dinner about 18 of us now.
