Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the delay in these posts! Part of what makes Croatia so awesome is that it is a little bit behind, like a step back to simpler times, and as such internet access was a lot harder to come by in the small village of Postira on the island of Brac. I'll also admit too that we were having such a wonderful time that we hardly touched the computer at all! We managed to pic a few of our favorite pics from Postira though, and we'll be putting them up over the next few posts. Enjoy!
If you can believe me, this was the view at sunset from our balcony in our little apartment in my great aunts' house in Postira. Not just one night, but every night! Look at the colors! You can easily see the beautiful Adriatic Sea, which we spent probably half of our trip swimming in! At one point, I remember Matt standing on the balcony, muttering sarcastically, "I can't believe I took a 20 hour train ride to come see this!"

The first night we arrived in Postira, the town where my Great Aunts (or Tetas in Croatian) live, we met up with Matt and my cousins Mirela, Ati, and Nena, and headed straight to the sea! I had never been in the water at night time before, and although it was a bit disconcerting at first, I ended up almost liking it better than during the day! We literally had the beach to ourselves! Unfortunately, Matt and I quickly realized that the only way we were going to fit with all the Speedos over here was to take matters into our own hands, as the picture shows. You may want to shield your eyes, that skin is pretty white, it may blind you if you look directly at it!
Kristina and Matt, chilling on the cement dock at the beach in Postira, with the Split Futbol team HAJDUK tagged behind them. It is hard to describe the experience of being at the beach on Brac, because it doesn't even compare to what we're used to in California. The water is CRYSTAL clear, as in you can see all the way to the bottom in deep water, even at night time if the moon is out! And it is just the right temperature to be refreshing, yet comfortable. Truly amazing!
We learned the hard way that if we were going to hang out with my Croatian cousins, we were going to have to step up our game! The first night we were there, after hitting the beach, we headed out to check out the night life of Postira. We ended up at one of the few bars along the harbor, "La Luna," and didn't make it home until 3 AM! Guess this isn't so crazy, but for us, it was definitely a change of pace! We had a great time though, and here you can see Kristina and I partying with all my Croatian cousins and some of their friends (Matt is taking the picture). Kristina ordered a Long Island, and the thing literally came in a vase, like for puttting flowers in! It was HUGE! And by her smile, you can tell she definitely enjoyed the whole thing! (Alright, I helped her out a bit too. ;) )
And so we had a great start to a great week in Postira! More pics to come!
Love,
Ry
