Yeah, if this weather wasn't so horrid it would be hilarious. We holed up in our apt for an hour or two after the storm then ventured out for an excellent dinner. (Whole grilled sea bass and grilled baby squids.) Rain stopped but wind was roaring along these narrow alleys. We found a table indoors, resto at the recommendation of Brian & Gail who were here a couple of weeks back. Good food, good wine, good service and more free slivovich! We must be doing something right when the waiters keep taking us under their wings. Hope for sun tomorrow.
Only Fox and Al Jezeera news here, (no BBC) - time to read our books.
We are enjoying the change of culture here. The Croatians are lovely people, can't believe how tall many of them are - I feel like a midget.
Off to have a long hot shower and my book in bed....we are getting old...we had planned to watch sunset from a bar on the outside wall of the old city but rain stopped play!!
We did have hot sunny weather this morning and early afternoon, and did the city wall walk, which was spectacular. Took loads of photos and will have to edit those soon.
Also ran into a very knowledgeable waiter tonight who gave us a list of wines to try as we drive up the wine peninsula and on to the island that is his home - and a big wine producer here. Interestingly one of the major Zinfandel producers in Napa valley was Mike Grgich, who was from Croatia originally. He went to US and produced better wines there - but there is a strong Grgich production here still. We will enjoy following that up. We met him many years ago and have always loved his now very expensive wines.
