Croatia Post #1 - Super Travel Day Continued!

We are in Croatia! After two relatively hectic days of travelling via various buses, ferries, trains, and of course sidewalks, we arrived at or destination of Bol on the Croatian island of Brac at about 1:00 PM our time. Here's a few more pics from our journey!



This is Kristina and I just as our ferry was arriving at the port in Split, Croatia. We got a decent night sleep in our little cabin, and were ready to take on a new day in a new country!


Our ferry got in a bit earlier than we expected, but we were greeted very quickly by two of my mom's cousins here in Croatia, our saviours! This is Kristina sitting down briefly with one of them, my cousin Silvana, trying to figure out just how to get us from here to Bol on the island. Easier said than done! Many thanks to them, as we probably couldn't have done it ourselves!


We took another ferry from Split to the port town of Supetar on Brac, and then hopped on a bus to cross the island to our destination on the other side, Bol. This is our bus, and the ad on the back clearly shows why Bol was our destination: The most famous beach in Croatia, Zlatni Rat, which translates to something like, "The Golden Cape." It is an absolutely stunning peninsula of little pebbles that extends into the crystal clear Adriatic Sea! Just about a twenty minute walk from where we'd be staying!


Here's Kristina sitting at the bus stop in Bol, waiting patiently for another cousin to come find us and bring us to where we'd be staying for the next two days. All of my family over here has already been so wonderful, they truly are such generous and kind people, and we are so lucky to have them. Many thanks in advance to all my cousins in Croatia, and thanks to my mom for helping set up our trip here!


More to come on our first night in Bol! Hope everyone is well at home!

Love,

Ry
