A day in Brac!
We woke up early and got to the ferry leaving for Brac island. It took about 45 minutes on the ferry to get to Supetar – a town in which the ferry docks. From their one gets the bus to Bol – which is the ‘hot spot’ of the island. The bus trip took us one hour. One can take their car on the ferry but we decided we could not be bothered with it so we left it in Split. Bol is a lovely town with lots of cafes and restaurants. We didn’t have a big breakfast (a banana and choc milk), so we had a lovely lunch to get us going. We then walked along the promenade to the famous beach called Zlatni Rat. It was a pretty walk in the shade and it took about 15 minutes from the main town. We spent an awesome day relaxing on the beach and swimming. Although my swims were only dips because of my stupid finger- still in recovery! We rented beach chairs because we are not quite used to the pebbles. Getting in and out the water is a little uncomfortable but once you are passed the pebbles you’re fine. The beach is really fascinating – it comes to a point like an arrow and then spreads our right and left. The water was so warm and there were no waves. We then got back to the town at about 17h30 to catch the bus to Supetar. We got a take away pizza and decided that would be dinner after our previous nights’ experience! We ate it on the ferry back to Split and I think everyone wished they had done the same! It was a long day but very enjoyable and we were very glad that we did not take the car because it really was not necessary on this island.
