After a morning of snoozing in the sunshine and perfecting my splashless dive (I finally snagged the coveted perfect 10 score from Val!) I received a text message from my mum, saying that the photos looked fab, but perhaps we should seek out more cultural/historical activities and party a little less.
(I guess it's a good job she didn't see the champagne shower party pictures from the night before.)
So we jumped in a little yellow bug and set off in search of the 'real' Croatia.
What we found was a vineyard with an incredible underground cellar.
Probably not what my mother had in mind, but it was founded in 1559 so really it still counts as history.
Right?

We left with bottles & bags and weaved our way back to the marina.
A fish supper kept us going as we partied late into the night.

I'm pretty sure I could live on fish & wine forever and ever.
We're setting off for Palmizana today, I'm looking forward to more sailing. It's not that I don't enjoy the parties, it's just that I love being on the open water with the wind in my hair.
I'm also getting spectacularly good at tying knots pulling ropes!

DeleteRosie you are supposed to be searching for the 'real' Croatia not partying but the vineyards look lovely so I guess you do deserve a party after your search.

ReplyDeleteThat beach cover up is so pretty. I would snatch one up for myself! Sigh, Croatia looks so beautiful and peaceful. I wish I could go right now.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing as always :)

Do you ever have fat days? Days where you think 'oh god, I can't post countless photos of myself in bikinis on the internet because maybe I'm not that attractive after all'.
ReplyDeleteThis, of course, isn't true; you're beautiful, woman. But all this hedonism must take its toll sometimes, surely?
Holiday pictures are about capturing moments and keeping them so you remember them forever.
DeleteHowever fat or ugly you feel now, I can guarantee that when you look back as an old lady you'll wonder why the hell you worried about it!
Some great scenic photos and I love that american flag top, you both rock it =) x

Loving this holiday you're taking me on - I feel exhausted from all we've done ;) Just what I needed to see after returning from Dubai to the English 'summer'! Keep having fun! x
ReplyDeleteReally pretty pictures, always very jealous of your travelling. Although I do find it a bit odd that you wore a bikini and see through cover up out to the vineyard? Still looked perfect though, which I am again jealous of :-(
ReplyDeletelove your friends shirt dress - do you know if it's current?
ReplyDeletecroatia look amazing - a perfect mix of 'history' and beauty and fun - I think fun just follows you!
also, your eyelashes look incredible - what's your secret? please don't say yacht week, I can't afford that for eyelashes ;)
♥ ThankFifi
Hey Fifi, I don't really have a secret, I just have naturally dark hair so I have dark eyelashes.
DeleteYou could try having them tinted at a salon? x

ReplyDeleteSorry Anon, no idea but they don't sell it anymore (I've tried to buy it many times!) x
