Friday - Bye bye Dubrovnik, Hellooooo Hvar Island

So I neglected to mention that at about 6am, I decided to postpone my trip back to London on Friday, and delay it to the Saturday flight. I decided this because out of all my ambitious plans to see Croatia, I had really ended up in Dubrovnik for 5 days, and wanted to see at least one island. Hvar Island is a lovely, more expensive and snobby Island about 1.5 hours from Split, which is where we arrived on the bus at about 12:30. After waiting til about 2:30, we hopped on a huge ferry that took us to Hvar Island.
Landing there, we found our apartment which ended up being super sweet, with 2 rooms with double beds and another with 2 beds in it with kitchen. We hit the town right away, and saw some of the nicest yachts that must have belonged to drug lords, they were so nice. Black extrior with black leather interior. DAMN.
We then enjoyed a round of beers courtesy of Ryan on the boardwalk by the boats, and roasted in the sun. The boys nearly jumped into the mini-harbour cause it was so hot, but instead we just ordered more beers.

Matty.

Once we were done with the beers, we hit the supermarket to buy the ingredients to make a lovely homemade meal. Boys: beer, cigs, meat and more beer. Girls: yogurt, veggies, eggs, juice.

The evening had one tense moment after an interesting conversation about 'numbers', but all ended well and I had an amazing last night in Croatia with the family eating an amazing dinner made mostly by Ryan (I know!) and then chattin with the fam - not too late, since we were exhausted from the all nighter before, and the full day of travel.

The next morning I had to catch a 9:45am bus to get to the edge of the Island to get the Ferry to go back to catch my plane on time. I don't want to get into the scene I created, but thankfully only Matty saw most of it and therefore I wasn't as embarassed, but I have rarely ever felt so sad to leave a place. We shall leave it at that for now.
