Day 69 - A day at the beach

Firstly I must say that dinner last night was phenomenal.  I had a prawn soup to beat all prawn soups.  I did ask for the recipe, but it's a secret, however, we will have it again and upon our return to reality will try to recreate it for all those prawn lovers out there!!

It was a slow start to the morning, with the kids sleeping in and us too.  We decided after a bit of search to head to a beach recommended, although as it was windy went to one further afield and one that was sandy!!  We caught a taxi there and had a great day swimming, snorkelling (although not a lot to see) played ball and I went and had a massage on the beach.  Lovely.  I don't think we will go home.  the temperature here is still hot, but more pleasant than the towns.  I walked a few hundred meters over through a small country road lined with beautiful vineyards to another beach.  we then walked back to Lambada and bought drinks and ice creams, and most importantly for the boys a small  ball with which we played beach volleyball ( or a version of it).  we caught the bus back to Korcula town had a quick swim to cool down and then back to our apartment to relax, have showers, a beer & bubbly then off to dinner.

Dinner well a real splash out 


What a dinner it was absolutely awesome. Good sized portions that did not overfil. The curtlefish and potatoe served in a margarita glass was nothing short of perfect. The scallops on polenta with beet root and garlic crea sauces was equally as good. The wine we chose with the help of the waiter was outstanding( I don't often drink red) to go withe the dark chocolate and marinated oranges. Every now and again you just have to splash out.

Another great day with a crescendo at he end.
