Our breakfast area at the Riva hotel made up for us having to settle for a room without a sea view!
There was lots of action all the way up and down the quay…
We noticed that the nice super yacht Helena moored out in front of the hotel was on the move…..
….apparently one can charter it……and it comes equipped with a sauna and a Harley Davidson…..
or one could charter this one for 69,000 euros per week!
...almost next door was a boat with local fishermen selling their night's catch….almost certainly not to EU rules or norms!
We decided to go over to Palmizano on the small island of St Klement on the Pakleni islands…..
our boat was small…..with just a few of us going over…...
Hvar does look very charming from the sea……
we arrived at the small port…..
and then had to cross to the other side of the island for lunch…..this involved going uphill for 10 mins and then walking down the other side….
The plants en route made for an interesting walk…..
Toto's, our lunch destination,
was just a few steps up from a pebble beach……
It turned out they were preparing for a wedding dinner…..
Which explained the various signs we noticed on the way……..
At Toto's one can choose a fish from the catch of the day… or go with the menu…
Excellent food and wine….
Back to Hvar …...where we actually saw the bride and groom……
plus a few guests!
Judging by the heels worn by some they had no idea they were going to be traipsing over a hill!
Hopefully the bridal party would be getting a lift….. this has to be one of the few cars on the island…. there are no roads!
For our dinner we went to one a well recommended restaurant……. Passarola...
Ambiance and location were fine…..
unfortunately we can't say the same for the food……...
