Once again wait one day and the weather is beautiful. After a very restful night we woke up to blue skies and not a cloud in sight, this seems to be the patter we have been experiencing. After I spent some time at a local hotel using the internet, looking like I was living there we hooked up with Teresa and Greg. We all made the decision to have a Hvar picnic for lunch. Once inside the grocery store the work began making the decisons as to what the sandwiches would consist of. Instead of ordering luncheon meat and cheese by the kg because our ability to convert to pounds was not so good we ordered everything by the slices. The picnic was a success, set by the sea, nice wine, great friends and good sandwiches. After a very fulfilling lunch the decision was to split up and do whatever activity we would want to do on a beautiful day.

Through out the entire day I had my eyes on a castle on top of a big steep hill my activity was to get there somehow. There was a nice walking path straight up to the top but to my disappointmet the castle was closed but the views were amazing overlooking the entire town of Hvar. My friends chose to fill there time relaxing and reading books.

The plan was to meet up at 4:30 at the Riva Hotel this is a place in Teresa's book called small luxury hotels of the world. Upon arriving we were greeted by a big cruise ship that ruined our view but not our fun.

Dinner tonight was in a restaurant called Macondo this place was over type as far as the food. It was the best red snapper I have ever had. When we were leaving we managed to meet the owner, the fisherman who caught the fish, the cook and assistant, cook. We ended our night at a place called Garifuls where there is an aquarium beneath the floor stocked with sharks, lobsters and many other fish. We proceeded up 190 steps to our Guesthouse.
