Croatia: Hvar Fortress

I did venture climbing up close to the fortress around 1 :00pm and that’s quite a challenge due to very hot weather, just make sure you get a bottle of water with you on the way up; took some great pictures from up there to beautiful Hvar town and marina. Same along the way up featuring cactuses in bloom, orange trees, bougainvilla, palm trees and tons of agave plants.

Am urcat aproape pina in virful fortaretei pe la 1:00 dupa-amiaza si am facut niste fotografii formidabile pe un traseu cu cactusi infloriti, portocali, bougainvilla, agave, palmieri si cu niste vederi formidabile deasupra orasului.

Took the same direction climbing up to the fortress at sunset, while planning to stop and have dinner at a traditional croatian style « konoba » restaurant, recommended by Lonely Planet guidebook and nicely located on the hill above town. Unfortunately, the terasse where we did intend to have dinner was extremely hot since surrounded by walls, AC indoors didn’t appeal to us so that we ended up at the extremely popular terasse at Marinero and enjoyed thoroughly the seaplatter accompanied by the less enjoyable housewine, however a great experience overall. Everything very very fresh and good friendly service within a very enjoyable environment.

Am refåcut traseul spre fortareata sa vedem apusul de soare de a

colo, iar la coborire planificasem sa cinam la un restaurant autentic croat (konoba ceva…) cocotat pe colina deasupra orasului, restaurant recomandat de unul din ghidurile de calatorie. Dar la terasa acestuia era atît de cald încît am renuntat si la interior la aer conditionat am zis pas de asemenea, asa ca am aterizat la terasa la Marinero cocotat pe o strådutå imediat deasupra marinei unde am probat un seafood platter absolut perfect cu un vinul casei total imperfect, dar per total o experientå foarte plåcutå.
