Do we have to leave?

As predicted by people we know who have been to Croatia/Croatian islands before, we really don't want to leave. Korcula slows the pace down, relaxes you in a way that only the islands can. We spent the morning at one of the few sandy beaches in Croatia(most ste pebbly) followed by an afternoon wandering around old town and swimming off the rocks here. The water is amazingly clear (even our where we couldn't stand, we could seep our feet/rocks on the bottom). I spent quite a bit of time today sitting in the shallow waves, reading and watching the beautiful blue water and fun crowd. Yes, definitely men wearing Euro banana hammocks, and quite a few naked kids running around (nudity is not just for babies in Europe). Saw only one topless lady though, sorry guys. Though I'm sure you would have enjoyed the stretching/work out class in front of us in the water today. Island life rocks.

Tonight's dinner was more seafood and pasta, followed by cocktails on top of one of the surviving turrets/towers of the old town walls. Anyplace that involves a ladder to climb is probably touristy but worth the extra few dollars. So after a few cocktails under the full moon (and another scoop of gelato) we say good night to Korcula and sadly prepare to leave for wineries en route to Dubrovnik in the morning.
