HVAR TOWN

HVAR TOWN 31/8 - 3/9

OK - the sequel to the first 3 days in Dubrovnik. Once again it was the 7 of us staying here for the next few nights. Me and TC were in our own apartment this time so no snoring from Stix and Stiv - thank God! We had a wicked little view of the sparkling water and the bell tower from our balcony as we sipped espressos each morning......... yes I have changed! No stairs either which made a welcome relief!

Day 4 (continued) - After checking in we hit Hannibals restaurant for a few wines and a seafood kick of calamari and pasta. Quiet night followed and we all caught up on some much needed sleep.

Day 5 - A glorious sunny day of about 30 degrees greeted us so we packed up a lunch and hit the high seas in a local boat that took us out to an island. Now to make it a tad interesting 'No Sesh Friday' was called and anyone who mermured this word received a complimentary chinning. It took a while for the boys to adapt and there were some sore jaws getting around early! The island itself was rocky as with crystal clear water and not many people about. Swimming and sunbaking were the order of the day. It was TC who called for a beer first and in no time 3 or 4 of Croatias finest were put down with the island providing a stunning backdrop. After tanning up just a little more we headed on back with a feeling in the air that a big one was coming on........ and we were right! We knocked back a few bottles of wine sitting on the harbour docks just for starters. Then after another seafood chew we got busy a drinkin! The girls were on cocktails whilst the boys and young TC were hitting a pint and a tequilla shot each round. Things got messy pretty early with TC setting a cracking pace.... the tool of the week had stung her into action...... and about time too!

After a few more, a brainiac decided to stop the chinning game due to a few concussions and change it that you had to use everyones last name or cop a thonging (refer to dubrov blog for definition). As me and TC didnt even know their last names we...... and in particular me, copped a pounding. My a$$ was the colour of the sunset by nights end. MJ and Jo looked after each other but came in off a Dennis Lillee long run to smack one of the boys! An Austrian 45 year old schitzo was trying to tune Stix and Stiv and took great delight in dishing out some powerful thongings to the boys..... Stiv was on fire with the women! TC and myself called it a night around 4 after some free shots from the bar dude and I had to literally carry...... and/or drag her home. TC was back!! The boys kept going with Stiv hitting the local club and Stix and Egg playing cards and skulling everything in site! Good times were had by all! Absolute ripping day!

Day 6 - We all met up hung over like dogs and decided the day was a write off and sleep was the order of the day. The 2 of us ventured out late afternoon and stumbled on a beach party that was going off. Music pumping and Spanish girls in tiny bikinis dancing on podiums. We met up with a bloke we met in Czechy so joined him for a couple of cheeky pints. Met some good Auzzies who live in London and had a couple more. Feeling pretty happy by now we hit town for some pizza and pasta and ended in a quiet night.

Day 7 - Today was beach day and we swam, sunbaked, swam, sunbaked repeat x6. The weather at this place is brilliant. We didnt see a cloud the whole time we were there. Egg, MJ, Stiv and Jo took off on a ferry which was a bit sad so we ventured over to the beach party again, had a few cheekies and a shot or 2 and went back to the pad to cook up some grub - a Stix special. 2 bottles of red later and once again we were hammered. Got told off for being too loud by the guy next door and found some Z´s whilst listening to some classic tunes. Stix caught the early ferry whilst we had the psycho bus journey around 500m cliffs to our next destination Basina. This was one of the best weeks in the trip and had some absolute classic moments!!! Big shout out to the crew who made it such a blast. The Simpletons know good sesh but stink like rotten mocca! Till next time!
