Day 71 Hotel Borat

Today we awoke at 5am to catch the quick cat from Korcula to Split to get to Bol on the Island of Brac. (pronounced Bratch ) we sailed at 6.

Sunrise

We had purchased the tickets for the quick cat before the sword dancing last night so all was good.

We sat in the cabin where Cody slept on my lap all morning til we got to split at 9 am. It was a pretty un eventful cruise.


we went Korcula to split to Bol (not on map ) it is on the same island as Supetar but facing stari grad.

We then had to wait til 10.30 to get the ferry to Supetar on the island of Brac to get to our final destination. While we waited I did a reckie on buses to our destination before we fly home namely Split. So this was very worthwhile. As we sailed we were approached by a dodgy looking taxi driver who was offering to take us to Bol for 200 kuna which is 50 nz. We pondered on this and realized that it was indeed a very good deal. He had 2 others paying the same so it must have been worth his while. He drove as if his life depended on it.

Zlatni rat.

Anyway we drove for 25 mins until we got to Hotel BORACK which I soon nicknamed it hotel Borat. As  some of the happenings were laughable.

Anna locked our safe with a pin number then we could not open it. We called housekeeping the lady came with a key to open it. All good

Then wi fi would not work they sent technicians who said unfortunately your room is the only room in the whole complex not to have service!!

Then Cody and I came back from the pool and alas our card to let us in did not work the staff on the desk knew us well by now and we had been at the hotel less than an hour.

Anyway all is good we spent a few hours at the pool and Luke and anna went into town. We then went for a walk along the boardwalk to the Famous Zlatni Rat beach. We also witnessed somebamazing kitesurfing. Itbwas the croatian nationals i think someone with an ic on the end of their name won.We worked out what we wanted to do tomorrow and walked to the head of the spit. We decided that we would hire a boat and go on an adventure.

We returned to the hotel got changed and had a lovely dinner. I was tucked up in bed and asleep by 9pm.
