I try to do or make interesting things on a regular basis. Here are some words and photos about my exploits.
Nice night last night having drinks on the deck with some of the folks. Must resist saying “with some of the kids”. ;-) Nothing too wild, though, especially compared to some nights. Up at 07:30...
Camera is now also dead, along with the laptop, GPS, and my patience with this whole endeavour. Cruise is over tomorrow, then I can get off the boat and start fixing this mess. May write...
Up early, decided to go for a walk up the hill above Trstenik. Found the winemaker we had visited last night (went to watch the harvest getting crushed and de-stemmed, and to taste some of...
09:40: Well… I feel better, physically at least, than I probably deserve. Mentally… been better. Very lazy day, as expected after the spectacle last night. We aren’t going any place of cultural interest, just...
Been up and on deck since 06:15 watching the sunrise over the islands and mountain ranges. Had two dreams last night, hopefully not prophetic. In the first a group of us (from the cruise) were...
On the Turkish gulet “Javorka”, somewhere between Hvar and Mljet islands: Yesterday got a little bit crazy, and then a lot crazy. It eventually became clear that we weren’t going to get through on the...

Start location: Sarajevo, Bosnia End location: On a bus somewhere south of Split, Croatia Sarajevo Pivara (brewery): Experienced a new kind of entertainment for the locals this morning: Go to the “pigeon square” with...
Mostar train station: You can tell they don’t have a lot of rail travelers here – the ticket window (no self-serve machines) only opens 1/2 hour before the trains depart, which is easier than it...
I am safe and sound here in Sarajevo, but I am having techinical difficulties ranging from a dead laptop to see-through swimming trunks and no clean underwear. Gotta sort all that out, plus lunch, before...
Location: Mostar, Bosna i Hercegovina Excursion: Smajkici Managed to get up at 06:50 to catch the sunrise on the Stari Most (the famous old bridge), but shouldn’t really have bothered: the sun didn’t rise over...
Got to Split no problem. Got to laundrette, no Julie (the woman who had been arranging my cruise for me). Woman who was there was very friendly. Said nice new public showers were on the...
