One of the many things I enjoy about living in Croatia is the proximity of the thousands of islands along the Adriatic coast. Today we took a day trip to the Island of Šolta.
A friend of the family rented a yacht for a week and invited us to come along for the day. The plans were to have lunch in the terrace of the newly restored 303 year old castle Martinis Marchi then visit the beach on the island of Ciovo before heading back to Split.
In the beginning Beli was a bit anxious (it was her first time on a boat) but she quickly took charge and was allowed behind the steering wheel.
brave little one................................
According to the website, Luxury Croatian Villas "The castle was originally built by the Martinis brothers in the early 18th century to help protect the Split mainland and islands from pirate attacks as well as to develop a community to work the land."
Le château Restaurant, where you will find friendly staff, overpriced lunch but a fabulous view of the fishing village Maslinica.
She enjoyed her fish soup so much she was dipping a piece of homemade bread into the broth.
Initially we were the only guests and Beli took the liberty of running around the terrace as if it was her own backyard. You noticed she took of her sandals?
Doesn't this look picture resemble something from a movie set?
As we were near the island of Ciovo we saw a storm approaching us and it began to rain but after 10 minutes the sun returned.
Everyone went for a swim except Beli and I. We weren't that brave.
Afterwards we headed back to Split, said our goodbyes and our friends were off to their next adventure.
