Day 14: Island of Brac

Despite a cloudy morning, we decided to risk it and head out to one of the nearby islands off the coast.

We took a ferry to the island of Brac, which we'd heard was just beautiful. The trip was only an hour long, and the waters were still and calm.



Once we arrived, we took a taxi with 8 other people out to the city of Bol, which is where the most beautiful beach is supposed to be. We had no idea how big the island was, and were shocked that it took 30-40 minutes to get there through the mountains.

The island was gorgeous, and the beach was really cool. Sadly, not a real sand beach (it was little pebbles), but the water was clear and beautiful and the views were amazing.




As the day wore on, the sun finally came out sometime around 2pm. We were excited to have a few good hours of sun before the clouds came back and it started to drizzle. At that point we made our way back into town to catch the bus to the port of Supertar.

Unfortunately we missed the last bus by 10 minutes and had to take a more expensive taxi back to the port, but we made it in time to take the 6pm ferry, so that was good.



The ride back was great- the sun came out again and we enjoyed the calm trip home. When we arrived back at the hostel, we were famished, so after quick showers we went in search of some Italian food, which was delicious!

Another calm evening in the hostel, some reading and slamwich (one of Rachel's card games).

Maybe beach again tomorrow if we haven't had too much sun!!
