Hvar


I had a great day yesterday!! We woke up around 9 in the morning, got dressed, then we walked around. We rented a car and went to several places. First, we went to a beach and ate a small snack. It had really clear, blue water that was very pretty. The second beach had a rocky ground and was still very clear. To get down there, we had a 25 minute walk down the mountain. We swam for about an hour and a half and then we went up (It was a lot harder to go up then to go down). We were really tired so we got in the car and drove to different towns. At the first town, Stari Grand, we took pictures of the scenery. Stari Grand is one of the oldest towns in Europe and is the oldest in Croatia!

The second town was known for their lavender. About 10 years ago, all up and down the hills, there was lavender. Then, a huge fire came and wiped almost all the lavender out. The farmers didn't want to replant them because it was to hard to plant because there are a lot of rocks. Later, we came home and enjoyed pasta, broccoli, bread, and cherries.
