There are many fascinating climbing stories and this one
ahead is no exception, although is by no means epic like, say, <i>Touching the void</i>. It lacks perhaps height, tricky overhangs, ropes, chalk
and other typical gear, but not mental strength or those familiar dramatic
moments that make your fingertips sweat.</div>

Years ago two friends Kike and Ivica in good spirits went
for a stroll around Marjan peninsula – green park extending few kilometers west
of the old town where we all go for walking, running, cycling, climbing,
kayaking, swimming, relaxing, etc...it is a beautiful place. Young and in good
mood they were walking through nature, having conversations
about...something...different things...and a bottle of wine (I like to think it was
red) was accompanying them. Finally they were at Šantine stine – magic south-west
side of Marjan with little churches and hermits' dwellings from centuries ago walled
up into the vertical limestone cliffs – home to local rock climbing community.<br />

Kike and Ivica weren't themselves climbers but be it the surrounding,
wine, view to the sea and islands, their philosophical moment or simply all blended
together, they went to climb what they saw as their route (not a bolted one)
without climbing shoes or any piece of equipment. They were soloing parallel to
each other placing their feet, finding holds, getting higher and higher when
suddenly Ivica got stuck and couldn't get out of it – coming down didn't look
good and other directions appeared impossible too. As seconds and minutes were
passing his body got nervous and the mind was following, everything he tried
was useless except for losing energy and thus opening door to panic. Muscles
were getting tired, one leg started shaking. Sweat. They had already passed a
point of no safe return down. Kike being two meters to his right was unable to
help, or at least it might have seemed so. Time was dripping and with it Ivica's
odds were getting smaller, yet just before the situation switched from
desperate to hopeless Ivica said these right words: „<i>Kike, talk to me</i>“. Kike could talk, both of them actually can talk, and so Kike
started to talk...gradually Ivica calmed down and found his way up. Thanks to
him asking his friend to talk and this one talking back they both relaxed and
reached the top, stood on flat soil above the rocks happily and walked back to
the town...<br />

What would be the moral of the story If we were to look for it?
Well, to start, drinking and driving aren't to be mixed, so don't do it that way, go climbing with friends who know or take
a course with a club, hire some outdoor agency, whatever. Be safe during the activity.

your chances will grow.</div>

But when we scratch surface we'll also see how this really
is a climbers' story, because despite getting themselves in a serious trouble
facing fatal outcome they remained focused and calm on the inside which saved
them and that was their only option, best and only card to play. I'm glad they
did...<br />

<b>TRUE KAYAKERS’ NIGHT</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
„It's time to leave the capsule if you dare“ – this is what I occasionally say to our guests when they are about to step little bit out of their comfort zone whether it is paddling into the wind around some rocky point or climbing an exposed route. Those are in fact David Bowie’s lyrics from Space Oddity, one of the most memorable songs ever.<br />
<br />
The great artist left this world and although you never related him to kind of activities we do his life seems like an outstanding personal adventure, a courageous journey oftentimes into unmapped territories before GPS was invented. Creative, original, willing to experiment, take new paths and abandon old ways, he has inspired people for decades.<br />
<br />
Now the story gets little personal (despite blog experts’ advices). Anyway I remember clearly and vaguely at the same time one night in Hvar some 10 years ago when few of us kayakers and friends met up the Teraca (meaning terrace) bar next to the famous old Hvar theater overlooking the square. That warm summer night we, powered by local carob grappa, developed a theory of “True kayakers” and what they do, like, eat, drink, laugh about and such…the list would be too long if I only could recall it now or perhaps too personal but among those rare surviving lines is: - A true kayaker listens to Bowie!!!<br />
Years have passed, many strokes pushed us sometimes in circles and ever further, people came, left, adventurers became priests, lovers vanished and children were born, the world seems crazy like never before, who knows if we’ll ever get together like we did that night, I only now that I won’t forget us all at Teraca bar, and Bowie has something to do with it.<br />

Wow!!! Small group of friends is all it takes to turn a weekend into an extraordinary experience. Three of us went exploring roads on the east side of the island and we enjoyed it, of course. Saturday was reserved for the area between Korčula town and Lumbarda. Bire, our beloved Grk winemaker was away for a wine fair so we had to do without him this time but that didn't stop us to ride past his vineyards. Gornje Blato – vast field of fertile land that at the same time displays and hides wonders of nature and people's hands was our first stop and then we headed southeast to check the blue and seemingly endless Adriatic horizon.<br />

Downhill took us with a view to Vela Pržina sandy beach that would perfectly fit in an end of a movie when the main characters, having overcome difficulties and made serious money, arrive and drink cocktails to enjoy next stages in their lives. We only stayed for half an hour though, almost alone gazing at the open sea in an meditation like state. Guess the sun broke just for us.<br />

Lumbarda area is special, millenia ago the river of Neretva used to flow along the north side of it which is why it is nowadays sandy land growing vegetables of a rich taste such as zucchini or cherry tomatos that locals boast of, not to mention Grk wine possibly originating from the Greek era but that has never been proven. Or it was the Illyrians who had already inhabited the island when the latter came and who were winemakers themselves and so maybe the word <i>Grk</i> doesn't come from Greek but the word <i>gorak</i> meaning bitter in Croatian.<br />

That evening we decided to treat ourselves with traditional meal, or better to say, a way of preparing food, called peka in <i>Malta</i> tavern. Iron baking dish under the cover of iron bell with charcoal on it bakes and cooks the food making it juicier than otherwise. The fireplace was on and that's really great way to experience „island life“ off the seasonal routes and ways.<br />

Other upside of Korčula over other central Dalmatian places in the autumn and winter is that is simply few degrees warmer which makes the whole package more pleasant. The climate is almost subtropical compared to say, Split, which again is warmer than most other towns on the coast.<br />

Eko škoj is her brand meaning ecological island and she grows and produces olives, vegetables, grappas, jams and so on. We sat in the warmth of the sun at the terrace of 200 or so year old house to enjoy a welcome grappa followed by dried figs and fresh olive oil with Dijana's made bread, salted fish, cheese, dried cherry tomatoes, Pošip white wine and finally, as the meal was already turning into lunch she took out of oven a cake-like bread with walnuts and dried figs.<br />

Next we left Žrnovo and its countless stories from far and near history to cycle some, first up- and then slight downhill dirt road to Kočje or Koče as locals call it. Dolomite rocks of strange shape overgrown with ivy, moss, holm oak trees, secret trails and little caves, a source of water known as the „Fairies spring“; all of these make for incredibly intriguing and magical ambiance in a relatively small area.<br />

As the trail is marked you don't get lost, but when you explore a bit further there's always some new shape, trace, plant or evidence of a temporary human presence in the past. Koče is one of those places you return to whenever possible. Unless it's rainy, because then it's muddy and slippery.<br />
We biked on down to north coast and after two more nice stops got to Korčula town past sunset. That was nearly five hours of little sweat and pure joy.<br />

„Charming, ancient harbors dot Croatia's stunning coastlines and islands, which take a backseat to no other Mediterranean shore, and a wilder side can be found in Kornati National Park, where campers bed down on islands used by herders for 2,000 years. Paddling coastal Croatia's almost unimaginably blue waters leads wanderers through a delightful maze of more than 1,200 islands. Some 70 of them are inhabited, and like Croatia's mainland communities, their culture reflects the country's intriguing location between Central Europe and the Balkans.“<br />

– This is how National Geographic Travel puts sea kayaking in Croatia among Top 10 Mediterranean Adventures. But why? Well, the answer is simply because the east side of the Adriatic sea is there the way it is and it has only taken some time for it to start being discovered and recognized by (foreign) adventurers, recreational kayakers and particularly by local community whose majority still have no clue what exactly sea kayaking really is. Tourist „experts“ included.<br />

When I was child there were boats we called gondolas or sandolinas for rent and we, usually boys, would sometimes somehow find just enough money to go for an hour or two paddling along city's beaches. Those boats were in fact very primitive form of kayak and occasionally they were even equipped with air pockets which kept them on the surface when you capsized. One fine day a friend and I turned over some 60 meters from the beach and the gondola sunk to the bottom around six meters below us. We were perhaps 12 years old at the time and we had no choice but to dive to the boat and push it on the bottom enough times till we could finally grab it. Only by then most of our rental time was gone and that was it, but the connection was made. As years went on I would see kayakers from other countries who seemed to be pleased by their navigation in our waters.<br />

Three decades later sea kayaking is still not a big thing in Croatia; locals now have some (faint) idea what it is but very few people actually do it. But the active ones are aware of the beauty surrounding them. Thanks to our predecessors who arrived long long ago here where the East meets West, North meets South and the land is married to the sea, we enjoy the privilege of being born and living in one of the finest corners of the Mediterranean.<br />

The nature on the other hand did everything else giving us so many reasons to admire and cherish its creation on daily basis. Scattered islands and islets moored in crystal water, numerous coves and pebble beaches, caves and lagoons, lovely towns and villages, lush vegetation and bare rocks, turbulent past and ancient (pre)history, myths and legends, gastronomy, wine, hard work and leisure, culture and adventure...it's all here and much more...<br />

So many islands are unlikely to leave you indifferent; their number is such that anyone after exploring the Mediterranean spirit is bound to find the perfect one, be it among northern ones or, say, Kornati national park with incredible diversity of marine life, bare vertical cliffs and almost unimaginable quantity of rocks hiding little oases of olive groves, or authentic taverns few meters from the sea. North Dalmatia around Šibenik is abundant with little islands and islets, the bay of Šibenik is one of the most protected harbors in the world while the region of Split is entrance to even more colorful ambience of islands like Brač, Hvar and Vis. Further south the climate is almost subtropical in Korčula and Mljet, vegetation of those islands as well as the Elafiti group is lush, the land is fertile, the water is warmer...<br />

The currents that pour in from the Mediterranean flow in the Adriatic sea roughly speaking up along „our“ side and bring fresh supply of water which is to a great extent responsible for the amazing transparency of the water while later on they go down the Italian side. And who knows, it might have been these currents that backed up with jugo (southeast wind) brought Odyssey away from Ithaca into the Adriatic more than three millennia ago and he possible liked it so much that he kept prolonging his return. Although those currents aren't too strong and tidal oscillations pose no threat to navigation nevertheless the sea demands respect and caution if only for micro-climate conditions which combined with summer storms must be taken seriously. But since nowadays weather forecast reports are easily available (there is mobile phone signal almost wherever you go), it only takes little common sense to make your paddling holiday safe and pleasant.<br />

The kayaking possibilities are numerous anywhere between more touristy and solitary islands off the beaten routes and doing it you can spend a couple of hours to few months depending on how deeply you are addicted to it and how much time you have at your disposal. Along the way you can combine camping, private accommodation and small luxury hotels again proportionally to your preferences and lifestyle. Or why not stay onboard a boat that cruises the most attractive areas where you can then leisurely explore the most attractive spots without worrying about the weather and the itinerary. In other words any way you chose to do it don’t wait too long - it will only get crowded one day.<br />

<span id="goog_1789360190"></span><span id="goog_1789360191"></span><br />Tourism has changed many times and the process has at times been slower, other times of course more sudden, and it will continue that way whether we like it or not. As there are tourist workers with different approach to the matter, so it happens with the „objects’’ of their efforts – people who travel for all kinds of reasons and spend certain amount of time and means in a place, be it for pure pleasure or a business trip leaving them few hours or maybe more to treat themselves with whatever they like provided they find it.<span id="goog_1789360200"></span><span id="goog_1789360201"></span> Nowadays unless constrained by an important meeting hardly anybody goes
where they can't enjoy, be it a great music festival, superb food,
authentic ambience, spectacular hike or something in particular anyway.
And visitors are also viewed as either tourists or travelers where
generally speaking tourists just follow patterns, guides with mikes, buy
local souvenirs made in China, eat pizza in the main square and such,
while travelers prefer discovering certain area through more spontaneous
course of action, not necessarily knowing how long they will stay in a
place or maybe simply by staying there longer than just 2 to 3 days
which has come into fashion. As if you could see everything in a week or
10 days.<br />

<br />Proportionally the similar can be said about the providers: there are the ones who cheat on food or wine quality and source, window view, gear, etc., and those who are ready to give a client at least what they’ve paid for, and whenever possible with an added value. And naturally the most thriving ones are those in between staying happy as long as the numbers suit them.<br />

<br />Despite the ever-changing tourism theories, realities and tourists’ habits, despite numerous divisions and subdivisions, one thing seems to stay the same – there are only two kinds of tourists: those who don’t care where they are and those who do, always willing to fathom as much as possible local ways and culture. The latter too come for a variety of reasons and if it is, say, scuba diving, they need more than just excellent and reliable equipment, they need an expert diver/guide who is able to tell them about the local history, mentality, who will point them in good direction and if there’s a great tavern or bar not listed in guidebooks or hard to find, tell them about it.<br />

<br />The bottom line is that tourism can be dull and exhausting (when visitors become no more than figures), or it can be more demanding inspiring relationship for both sides.<br />But if you are a tourist/traveler and you would find a really good hotel, cozy apartment, family-run tavern where daily specialties vary in dependence of what’s fresh that morning in the green or fish market, little bar where relaxed locals hang out, shady trail leading to a secluded beach, refreshing adventure activity (something we do) how can you tell who is worth your energy when there’s so much competition, so many websites and other (internet) tools used by the providers?<br />

<br />It takes two to tango, but meeting a perfect partner requires a recommendation by a someone who’s been there and done that or a focused research through extensive areas of advertising games. Other way is something we like to call pure coincidence – when things naturally start happening without too much planning, like when a thought or a click leads to another step and then suddenly it’s magic. Whichever path(s) you choose is of less importance– as long as it works!!<br />

moderate and we got there just in time to organize wood for fire and then after
a grill and homemade wine right when we got into our sleeping bags the clouds
swallowed the mountain and began pouring down its wet content. It felt nice
being inside, protected. It seemed we were the only people in the world and I
imagined us from say, a perspective of Korčula, when on such a day you only see
two thirds of Ilija and the rest dissapears in the clouds like some lost and

black pines stand in harmony with hibernating sage and prickly juniper forming such a

It's off season and what can you do on the Black Korkyra island when the summer heat resides only in the photos or memories, crowds are gone, mainly to their northern, more permanent addresses , many restaurants and bars are closed, sun is not so bold or omnypresent anymore...Cold bora when blowing clears minds but also makes jackets come out of closets, jugo on the other hand is a warm wind but often goes hand in hand with rain that sometimes resembles monsoons. Still, many days are sunny and warm enough. So, the big question is again, what is there or here to do at this time of year?<br />

The answer is simply YES. Ok, maybe no bar is open in the very old center of Korčula town, maybe connections with the rest of the world are not the most frequent ones, maybe days are short, maybe you don't find busy social life and so on...BUT, once you're here and start digging, a string of situations happen to emerge from somewhere as if drawn by some hard-to-detect force just being around all the time waiting to absorb and be absorbed.<br />

The truth is everywhere around but mostly in the nature surrounding us and that seems like a great starting point to connect to the island or at least one way to do it. And not a hard one either...If you like to do these things on your own and don't need/know any locals willing to help you out, or they are engaged, you can always get a map and get going out there searching for meditation in motion and mechanisms how our world came to be like we see it today. As it occurs so often, both mythology and past realities edited into the history through history still co-exist and overlap, sometimes helping each other out by pointing in the right direction.<br />

Archeological findings in Vela Spila cave in Vela Luka testify about life on the island from the Ice age to present times. And the archeologists haven't reached the bottom yet which suggests that the origins of human existence in this area could go even further back than 20000 years. What we know today is that people that lived there changed, in the course of time, their way of life along with the climate changes that accompanied them. Some 18000 years ago sea level was 100 meters lower than today and
Korčula was a mountain with the former Neretva river running along its
northern parts. At the time the inhabitants of the cave were hunters but
as the sea level rose around 10000 years B.C. they turned more to
fishing and sea food.<br />

To visit the cave, which is locked and closed out of the season contact Tourist office in Vela Luka or even better, the Center of culture exhibiting the archeological findings from the cave. Anyway it is 20 minute walk from the town to the cave and the path is marked so get the key and visit this place containing in its ambience pieces of what we are (made) today. And once you're up there a view to the bay of Vela Luka won't let you down....<br />

Korčula's paths combine old macadams, dirt roads and single trails, ideal for hiking or mountain biking or both. These trails wind through the fields and grooves of olives, oaks, carobs, strawberry trees, cypresses, etc, although...scent of herbs now is not as enchanting as in springtime when most of them are blooming in all their colurful and odorous glory.<br />

Occasionally you come across old stone houses, roofless and abandoned as if still longing for some better tomorrow, or skilfully renovated ones arresting your attention in the very moment you spot them.

Maybe little magical forest known as Kočje offers clues to some ancient mysteries, events or life on the island. But not without engaging your own fantasy. Situated near Žrnovo it's a nice walk to get there and lose yourself in the labyrinth of strangely shaped dolomite rocks overgrown with ivy, surrounded by holm oak, fern...flora is interwoven in a most delicate way with cave-like spaces between the rocks dressed in moss seemingly hiding some primordial secrets.<br />

These trails pass through the orbits of two villages: Lumbarda and Žrnovo. Both are spread out and traditionally turned to fishing, wine and olive making, agriculture. Until concrete took over, stone was main building material, and local architecture used to create and follow some unwritten patterns that for centuries shaped houses, alleys, backyards, terraces, churches born in different periods and from different visions. Past and present, civilization and nature, people, animals, plants, all share this beautiful area within walking distance...<br />

When you’re hooked
onto a good memory, distance means nothing: the power of a recovered memory of
your old home will bring you straight back to the backyard of the days gone by.
Old homes, forgotten and neglected victims of irresponsibility, are as many in
Croatia as are rare intentions to restore them to life. With tradition dying
out, what will Croatia offer to guests in the future? Surely not all of them
are solely into modern buildings and sightseeing? Old, traditionally built
houses attract many foreign visitors to Croatia, but that part of our cultural
heritage is still ignored by the “higher” powers.</div>

the lifestyle they promise. Tranquility and freshness of nature, as well as the
splendid isolation, make the old houses of the isle of Hvar especially
attractive to foreign guests. Cruises may well show you the best of Dubrovnik’s
fancy palaces, but you won’t find much tranquility on a cruiser. </span><br />

The real
estate market is transforming agricultural land into urban development land, transforming
entire areas into places with no historical roots, but inspired by tradition.
Ultimately this process uses architecture to create commercial,
tourist-oriented objects and communities that in the long run are assimilated
into the area – if, and only if some rules are respected, as is the specific
local culture.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The options offered
by European Union funding have inspired many to start dreaming of returning to their roots, to old
villages that kept their purity and calm. Dalmatians have always been defined
by their past, cherished it and preserved it, all the while questioning their
very right to live in that beautiful place. There are as many as six thousand
dilapidated, abandoned villages, all with sleeping potential to be someone’s
dream come true; the dream of freedom.
This yearning for carefree living is a direct consequence of too many
years spent under the yoke of modern society – it is no longer only the very
rich elite to long for their little peaceful corner of paradise, no longer the
ultimate goal of the smart and educated top layers of society: it’s becoming a
dream of the masses. The middle class is on the prowl for the picturesque:
places like Humac, Velo and Malo Grablje, Zarače, Brusje lure with their
promise of a life soothing the body and the soul. Now more than ever before we
are ready to throw whatever we thought defined us and rush into the thrill of
unpredictable future.</span></div>

abandoned in a hurry – there are only things left behind, no new objects to
sully the landscape. This virgin island is a place of self-reinvention, a place
that teaches how to give with ease. To bring it back to life we must think
things through, search inside ourselves for enthusiasm and goodwill, make only
conscious moves. Certainly, the financial value of real estate will be the core
of such a project, but the island would profit best if brought from the brink
of oblivion by locals or their descendants, people who could spark life in many
areas of life, from ecology (agriculture before anything else) to art
(workshops, galleries, independent film festivals like the ones in Grožnjan and
Zagvozd), building connections between smaller groups and thus building new
communities of permanent inhabitants. </span></div>

into developed, stable areas, and it is therefore crucial for </span>the state to support
these “reanimation” projects, especially when it comes to application of strict
laws concerning traditional architecture restoration, seeing how many
developers bend ecology-oriented rules much too easily. Maybe we should make
them lay back and look at the starlit sky, listen to the old stone houses tell
their history – that is an experience money cannot buy.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">It is an unusual compromise and connection
of land and water which offers a refuge to diverse species of plants and
animals, offering them all that its necessary for life. Overgrown with grass,
sedge, rush and reed it looks like field with shallow ponds scattered all over
it and covered with permanent flowers of vibrant colours and with many
butterflies, dragonflies and other different insects which enable the birds to
stay in the reserve and in the park throughout the year. Hidden in the reed,
bird lovers can experience watching the birds nesting and taking care of their
chicks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><o:p>Vrana Lake is a hot-spot with tremendous diversity of ornithofauna of 249 recorded bird species, of which 102 nest in the park area. Of these nesting birds, four are considered Endangered on the European level and seven on national level. For some of these birds Vrana Lake is the only nesting area in the entire Mediterranean part of Croatia.

The tour around the entire lake is about 36km long, with approx. 400m of total altitude, makes it quite pleasant ride both for beginners and more advanced riders. It is about 20% asphalted road and about 80% of the dirt road, which isn’t technical so it is manageable for most of cyclists.</div>

<br />
Often we can hear how the tourist season ends by the end of October, and the new one starts sometime in April. But some of us keep on thinking is that really true or how this could be changed..<br />
<br />

We have great climate, great food and wine, great places, history and architecture, beautiful scenery, but somehow this "fact" doesn't manage to exceed the popularity of the "Sun&Sea" in the summer, the peak season.<br />
<br />
There are sooooo many different "theories" and points of view what we would need to do in order to prolong the season, but I don't feel like theorizing about it.. I know that telling people how many great things they could do in the off season and which are the benefits of visiting Croatia now, instead in August, wouldn't change this magic circle overnight, but its a start...<br />
<br />

I could write about the climate, about facts, prices, history or just about places/destinations, but I wouldn't (at least for now). I would rather like to tell you what can you expect if you are "brave" enough to visit us NOW, in the off season, instead of peak season with the endless river of tourists just pouring into our destination.<br />
<br />
So do you wonder what could you do if you visit Split, now, in the off season? In this and my following blogs, I would try to offer you some of the ideas and experiences.<br />
<br />

How about a great day trip from Split to Hvar island? But not just any day trip, but a spectacular one. A day which starts with magnificent flight from Split over Brac island and Solta to Jelsa on Hvar island?<br />
<br />

<br />
It is a fairly short flight, so much shorter than getting on a ferry. On the ferry you would travel for 2h each way and yes it is nice, but not as close to the great experience provided on <a href="http://www.ec-air.eu/en/" target="_blank">ECA hydroplane</a> flight. Yes it is only about 15 min flight, but in those 15 min you see so many amazing views that you can't believe that it all fitted in "only" 15minutes.<br />

<br />
Starting from Split at around 8am, you are in Jelsa on Hvar island already before 8.30am. And there is a full day ahead of you to explore one of the most magnificent Adriatic islands. At this time of year the island is bit slow and sleepy, but its magic is there. Whatever you choose to do. To get the shuttle from Jelsa to Hvar town and to explore on your own, or you could have a private island tour followed by wine tasting and lunch... All at your choice... :)<br />
<br />
And the best about it there is plenty of time to enjoy your day and to be back in Split just on the time for dinner.<br />

It's often that being local you get asked which island in central/south Dalmatia is the most beautiful...and I say they're all beautiful just different. Same same but different. Each one of them has certain dialects, tastes, architecture, history, character and so on to be anatomized into details.<br />

Vis has often been my silent favourite – somehow as if being made to fit man's needs; self-sustainable, not too big nor too small, with spectacular southern coastline and its fields, farms and households spread around the island. Vis and Komiža – two towns, two pearls, two different worlds...there are many reasons why one would go to Vis and fall in love with it at first sight, it could be that its remoteness makes it so desirable, tempting. And it works every way you look at it. Greeks from Siracusa have landed to its shores around 397 BC and it became their first colony in the Adriatic known as Issa.<br />
<br />
Being close to Split island of Brač has usually, unexpectedly and definitely undeservedly, been just seen by many only onboard a ferry on the way to other islands. Brač and not Brak, how it's usually pronounced, (latter in Croatian meaning marriage), is slightly bigger then Malta which has around 420000 inhabitants, while Brač only around 20000.<br />

<br />
Malta is over populated, Brač has a lot of space, green vegetation, fields, olive grooves, natural beauties, pictoresque towns and villages, events. Zlatni rat – famous beach is just a tip of Brač's charm, but let's not forget about Blaca monastery, village of Škrip, stonemasonry in Pučišća and so on...<br />
<br />
Right opposite it on the west side there's another „dark horse“ called Šolta. The two are separated by strait known as „The gate of Split“ and share an islet of Mrduja and every year they tie ropes to it and „pull“ it to see which island is going to get it for a year – crazy local customs, what can you do...<br />

<br />
Šolta is not on the main tourist charts, it's ignored by crowds as well as massive sailors' attacks and perhaps it should embrace that situation and turn it (touristically speaking) into its adventage. But discretely, to those wishing to see beyond the obvious.<br />
<br />
Korčula is in my heart – my love is from there and although I haven't explored it as much as I would like to or should - its contrasts, myths, wines...have drawn me for years and I only rarely indulged my curiosity more...until recently.<br />

Somewhere in between this „spread out archipelago“ lays the island of Hvar that got its name again from Greeks who came in 385/4 BC from their island of Paros to present-day Starigrad. They named it Faros. Locals still call Hvar town simply For.<br />

What is there to see, one can wonder...did you know that on the UNESCO's list of material and non-material cultural heritage Hvar island has three assets? Well, apart from its history dating back all the way to stone age culture, Ilirian and Greek era artefacts, Roman villas, architecture and works of art that flourished during Venetian period, breathtaking sceneries,old towns and villages scattered around the island in harmony with landscape (the old folks knew how to do it), ports, bars, restaurants, parties, there is island itself in its natural, unadulterad and silent existence.<br />

Of course this shouldn't be taken as a fact unconditionally due to man's interventions into nature that sometimes reaches little bit too far...but still the pure essence of Hvar emerges when the summer heat subsides...as if it regains its full lungs capacity. September come and grapes are ready for harvesting and then to be processed into wine. Not long after that it's olive harvest and the year is almost over.<br />

Visitors are very few; only some return at this stage of island life to witness south east wind known as jugo (jug stands for south) blowing sometimes for days rolling on and over the hills (and peoples' minds making them grumpy) crashing the waves onto the south exposed rocky shores washing the beaches out with driftwood and unpaired plastic shoes. Nothing changed there for thousands of years since Odysseus spontaneously arrived to the Adriatic carried by jugo winds.<br />

Boats are pulled out for winter dream, only the most persistent and dedicated fishermen still navigate the waters in colder months. Past the New year Hvar shares the life of many other Adriatic and Mediterranean islands seemingly hibernating till spring when the nature and spirits awaken once again. Although winter temperatures are considerably higher then in the rest of continental Croatia, (not to mention the number of sunny days), apart from when bura (cold wind from northeast) is blowing, springtime is perhaps the most enjoyable to wander around the island's trails, it's when the scents of herbs and plants and colours are the most intense and alluring.<br />

THE ART OF KEEPING THE BALL DRY UP IN THE AIR.<br />
<br />
The history of this game dates back in 1920s and was `brought under regulations` in 1950s.<br />
<br />
Picigin stands for Split contribution to evolution of homo ludens.<br />
<br />
The most valuable competitive element of this original game is keeping the ball dry up in the air by implying the most artistic body movements while launching yourself through the air aiming for the ball – a sensational esthetic experience.<br />

Done with all your tasks/chores, fulfilled all your obligations - what next? Have fun?...As a result of many different lifestyles, one has an array of possibilities; nevertheless I believe many would choose sport. Life is hard, so it's better to take it easy whenever we can. We don't know much what was going on before the written history, but from the available data peoples throughout the history have been using ball as sport equipment. And if we add evolution theory, one could actually say picigin is an evolutionary step forward when it comes to sports utilizing balls. Nevertheless, picigin is not an ordinary sport. The final aim in sport, especially professional one, is the element of victory, either of an individual or a team, bringing defeat to the other side, while picigin is not about winning or losing...<br />

Although it would not be hard to contest this research information, if one takes into consideration `urban development` of Split in the past few decades – enlarged number of inhabitants, city being suffocated with concrete. Back in 1923 or 1924, hard-to-tame Split mentality created picigin on the beach Bačvice. Around 1950 number of the players was established – five players per team in a circle. Picigin player Emil Giosento was the first to peel off the felt of tennis ball and use its bald core as picigin – sole equipment of this popular game. It is a real miracle this `non-profit fooling around game` has managed to withstand the wheel of civilization.<br />

Here is a list of secret ingredients for a good game of picigin, and maybe some unnecessary data:<br />
<br />
- Origin of name: there are many theories, it is speculated it derives from Italian word `pizzicare` meaning pinch, nip, tweak, tingle, pluck, sting, bite...stands for something fluttery;<br />
- A small ball: the most suiting colour would be black, not available in stores, so either make one or find appropriate one;<br />
- Terrain: apart from more and more crowded Bačvice beach, there is an array of unexplored terrains, and the most attractive one for me would be a sandbank in Kenya surrounded by sea, so during tide as sea level reaches ankle joint one can enjoy picigin in turquoise ocean waters without seeing the land near by;<br />
- Favourable sea conditions; sea level not surpassing your ankle joint, calm sea (bonaca);<br />
- Number of persons per team: five (but the right ones) standing in a circle;<br />
- Circle positions in picigin: first runner, second runner, third runner, `quarterback`, `stopper` ( `Toni`): a1, a2, a3, a4 and Toni - Toni stands for Toni Veršić who always played in this position until he recently retired at the age of 80;<br />
- Encounter with ball: should be soft, though not mushy, active and free; just set relaxed wide-open palm of your hand under the ball and hit it - hit the ball across the circle diagonally, change game direction, full power hit ahead-run-launch-dive, surprise hit;<br />
- Launching/Diving: have the ability to fall into shallow water - slide with your body through water, let go and merge with water;<br />
- Finally, the aim of the game: keep the ball dry up in the air; opened for discussion keeping in mind that nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.<br />

Picigin players cherish different styles. Though, it is a genuine pleasure watching, not to mention playing, with those who can play it by implying both sides of their brain, by using both hands. I remember an interview by the late great mind (not only regarding picigin) Tolja Kudrjavcev, published on two pages of a newspaper (I think it was Nedjeljna Dalmacija) with our sculptress that lived in New York under the title: `Fascinated by picigin`; a perspective of a woman and artist and her experience of watching these athletes running and launching their sculptured bodies above the surface of shallow water, flying and aiming for the ball; giving their best to make the perfect match with the ball. I remember my first game of picigin played with `professionals`: Dado, my ex-partner for picigin-in-two, and I were sneaking around the team of three Suvi, Fantom and Vera...somehow we found courage to ask if we could join them, the world stopped turning – Ok, position yourself in the circle...our hearts were racing, we started playing, we passed – not a penguin class, but heading towards the `professionals`.<br />

And then you have the whole day in front of you! Sometimes, we come across aggravated bathers, who actually of all beaches to go for a swim choose Bačvice, `trespassing` through the `magic ring` or trying to go around the `ring` finding themselves inside the `ring of fire`, completely unaware of possible collision (or the war of the two different worlds just like in Avatar) with players. Every player inside this `magic ring` has his own position, during the game these positions can interchange, but with intention of always returning to the original position. The same rule applies if the ball falls into the water. So, if you notice a random number of players in the shallow water running around in a circle in disorderly manner, even though it might be great fun for the players, that kind of game cannot be referred to as picigin. Genuine picigin players apart from having their own style, also experience the game in their own peculiar way. Amazing moments of this game where only sky is the limit when it comes to a wide range of game combinations every player perceives and cherishes differently ...I have no idea if time actually exists or we are just moving through space faster or more slowly, but when you, full speed, run for the ball, with uncertainty in the air, your body turns into intergalactic missile with only one target – the ball, swift as a lightning, you launch your body in the air, fly aiming for the ball, nothing exists anymore, just the palm of your hand and the ball trying to make the perfect match, all your senses are shut out, disconnected...having reached the highest peak of your `flight`, you drop down-dive, merge with water, the only thing left in the air is the palm of your hand, stretching out towards the ball, completely separated from your body and senses – you hit the ball somewhere between heaven and water...<br />

Well, yeah, once in a year picigin turns into competition. Jury of expert picigin players evaluates the 15 minutes performance of teams taking into consideration their artistic impression as well...so they reach a `verdict` which Split team played the best and gained the title of the Champions of the Universe followed by party which goes into superfinals till small hours.</div>

Few years ago when Michael Palin was making a documentary about the countries to enter EU he and his crew also came down to Bačvice and after watching picigin he said that it was only then he realised why Yugoslavia (at the time) had been the first non-english speaking country to show "Monty Python's Flying Circus".<br />

So, when you put it all together, it does not matter if you are young, old, man or a woman; picigin one plays is either `penguin class` picigin or the genuine `professional` one. </div>

There's a lot to say/share and I wonder how often people read nowdays and why somebody would read your thoughts. My guess is, to start with, that in order to draw somebody's attention you need to speak the way you see things (without too much filtering).<br />

Many people go everywhere and do wonderful stuff, have extraordinary experiences but somehow it's only rarely the very best moments are captured on the camera or written down in a good way. A famous journalist and writer from Split, Miljenko Smoje, once said that his best interviews were those he never published. <div style="text-align: left;">

As most religions speak of the same God from different perspectives, it's the same with the outdoor/adventure/active world. I've read some guidelines like: Plan Ahead and Prepare Travel and Camp on Safe Durable Surfaces Dispose of Waste Properly Leave What You Find Minimize Campfire Impacts Respect Wildlife Be Considerate of Other Visitors...<br />

Ok, it makes sense, yet at the same <br />
time we in CroActive Holidays have been doing that for years now, regardless of whether we go for a walk, set out on a day trip or multi-day expedition. Of course we've never left waste or mistreated wildlife or other travellers we met. Of course we planned ahead and so on...I mean, is there any other way to do it? <br />

Actually yes; there are people who heard about adventure sports and think anyone can do it. They see them as a way to make considerable profit in a cheap way with questionable equipment, inexperienced guides and the nature is but a coulisse to serve the purpose.<br />

It seems that today if you don't underline or emphasize some realy basic principles, like awareness for the nature, like breathing, you even seem to fall behind. Or not? Technology and tools change rapidly, communication is faster than ever, you must adapt fast or your business can be out before you know what's happened, trends in (adventure) tourism sometimes resemble those in fashion. People are after authentic experiences and those hardly ever come in a mass tourism more similar to fast food principle, which of course works globally. We in CroActive holidays aren't thrilled with it, whether as providers or when travelling ourselves. As agency offering sea kayaking, rock climbing, etc. our concept is to be contemporary and classical, updated and flexible, organized and creative, profitable and relaxed, exclusive but definitely accesible. </div>

Two years ago me and a friend called Top went to Brazil. How we ended up there, and why I just now thoght about it might not be a spectacular but interesting story to tell. <br />
<br />
Heard of Daniel Lacko who did „Welcome“ project? If not, google it. Anyway he and other three friends were travelling down the Croatian coast by kayaks, bikes, on foot, writing with GPS the word WELCOME on the map thus promoting Croatia as a great country (and) for adventure activities. Hvar island was on their way and we happened to welcome them biking and kayaking together across the island with a spectacular landing in Hvar town. But earlier that day we'd had a commercial half a day kayak trip with a few Brazilians in it and as I was coordinating bikes/kayaks with Lacko, I thought we might ask Brazilians to join us for Welcome after their trip was over and right then Daria, our guide, who took the kayaking trip out that day called me with the same idea and so the Brazilians joined us and became „Our Brazilians“. In the evening we went all together to Malo Grablje village at Berti's konoba (tavern) Stori mlin and the circle of that whole day was completed. I saw the Brazilians next couple of days in Hvar town and they told me if I ever went to their country I should call them, stay with them and so on...<br />

Well, later that year me and Top set out to Brazil and we stayed with Fisch and Dani in Sao Paulo and went with them and their friends to the coast and then the two of us went on our own up the coast to end after two weeks in Rio and then reunite with them to go to the Serra de Montequeira mountains. We came to the town of Parati and from there to Ilha Grande, island covered with thick Mata Atlantica vegetation and a lot of water springs, beaches...Since it was earlier in December there weren't many people; the crowds come for Christmas, we found a hostel, we found Palma, an editor of the island's journal, whom a friend from Parati told us about and Palma proved to be a great guy and a source of useful information. We wanted to hike around the island and asked him what he thought about it 'cause there were no proper maps. He said to us we could do it, and the trails which were there for at least 500 years - the legacy of the Indios – the original inhabitants of the island, would be possible to navigate. The water was to be found along the way either in springs/waterfalls or villages so we left some of our stuff at Palma's and started walking. </div>

Second morning we got up from our lightweight hammocks and went to a nearby river with the two guys from Rio we'd met the night before and they explained to us how to find „the trail less taken“ that led into the forbidden part of the island – protected natural area...but since we didn't come there as Portuguese conquerers centuries ago but as open-harted and curious travellers, we felt it natural to explore that „paraiso“. Up the hill we could see two long beaches laying ahead for kilometers and dense green jungle behind. We descended to the first beach of white sand alone in the tropical heaven and took a swim in the crystal morning water.</div>

Then the walking part in the sun took few hours and we got to a river that separated the two beaches. Good thing was the tide was low and we didn't have to worry about caymans while crossing it in search for where the trail went on. On the left we couldn't because of the hardly climbable and overgrown rocks; on the right were the mangroves and after half an hour or so we found the way and onto the second beach with more kilometers to tread in the hot sun...some hours later we came to the rocky part marking the end of the beach and I saw Top bit ahead approached by a seemingly angry man in uniform who turned out to be a ranger. It was obvious that by crossing restricted natural reserve area we were in a kind of offence and perhaps facing some consequences...and then to calm the man down I started explaining him im my pidgeon, yet evolving portuguese language our reasons. And I took out of the backpack (uma cosa muito importante) a plastic bag with our lixo – garbage, which told him, together with my mumbling and our perspired faces that we cared...and he let us go with a warning, handshake and smile...</div>

There were many episodes and in each one we were exactly like back home with all of our virtues and few flaws maybe. We adapted to a new continent (to us) with respect and it paid off, so to speak. Things are very simple - follow instincts - it will sort out. </div>
<br />
At the moment I'm sitting in our shop in Split forming new tours, trying to finish the ones I started and promote better those we know are SO GOOD but still invisible and so on. So my question is not just how to do all this but also how far we need to go when promoting our „virtues“. Do we also have to point out that in our business we, say, „leave only footprints“ and/or „plan ahead“ to be recognized and competitive...or simply be organized, experienced, responsible like we feel we are and leave something (that goes without saying) to happen the way it's supposed to. And then, provided we've done everything right, provided our clients feel the same „vibe“, the magic never fails, even if a trip lasts for few hours only. On the other hand, why be ashamed of things you know you do right, right?<br />

And that's not all. It has taken me ages to write and finish this story (but that's another story), and then a month ago in Korčula town I happened to be introduced to Viviana - Brazilian working as a masseur in a small luxury hotel known as Lešić - Dimitri Palace. Three years ago she had come to Croatia to friends' wedding, met a local guy and in the end decided to exchange Sao Paulo for Blato on Korčula island. It first turned out we knew the same people in Sao Paulo? (there's only about 20 million people there) and the next thing we established was that we had met in Hvar during the event described above - it just took us a little while to realize it. Any conclusion? - the world can be really small and everything is connected...we just need to see that...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To be honest, its been a while since my last hike. Work and season holidays kept me busy with different tasks, so it was hard to start hiking or cycling again with few extra holiday pounds.<br />
<br />
But once I did it, there is always the same conclusion: there is no other thing I could have done better today. An epic hike to a peak not so high, but high enough to test my body and to give me some muscle pain. :)<br />
<br />
The trail starts in Bosnia&Herzegovina from small village beneath Kamesnica mountain, about 70km drive from Split.<br />

Kamešnica is a mountain in the Dinarides at the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia (Dalmatia). It is an extension of the Dinara that stretches from the northwest white road pass Vaganj (1173 m) to Buško Blato artificial lake. Two tallest peaks named Konj (Horse) (1855 m) belong to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kurljaj (1809 m) belong to Croatia, yet have magnificent views of both sides of the border. During clear weather, climbers can see the most remote areas of theAdriatic Sea and its islands.<br />
<br />
Thanks to its geographical position, Kamešnica is a favorable habitat for plant and animal species. It has many hiking paths and deep caves. The ecosystem of the northern parts of the mountain has been completely preserved due to its inaccessible and isolated location, and to the thick forest that surrounds it. Six or seven months per a year, most of Kamešnica's peaks are covered by snow.<br />

But since this winter is very mild there was almost no snow at the highest peak "Konj", and the walk to the top was more than pleasant, specially after getting above the clouds.<br />
The part of the trail goes through a dense forest, following a small river with tiny waterfalls. Amazing experience of nature with sounds of water and scent of fallen leafs.<br />
<br />
And yes, once you are there on the top that is the reward, worth all the muscle pain... :)<br />

Well maybe not now, since strong winds wouldn't be in our favor to visit the area of remote Adriatic island. But it would be definitely fun to visit it in Spring, as soon as days become longer and temperatures higher. Sea kayaking adventure to the island of VIS.</span></div>

<span lang="HR" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Vis island, the
«off the beaten path island». During the summer Vis is considerably different
from the islands of Hvar, Brač or Korčula. The main reason for this is probably
that Vis offers only a very small number of hotel beds so it is mainly visited
by people who like it for their own specific reasons and not by "regular
tourists" who may have seen its name in a brochure and thought it might be
a nice place to visit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="HR" style="font-family: Helvetica;">We know that one
of the reasons for Vis' uniqueness lies in its 500 years of isolation, often as
a military island where time had stopped. However, as so often happens in life,
the thing that once seemed to be a disadvantage in the end turns out to be an
important advantage. So, Vis' exclusiveness does not lie in its excellent hotel
capacities, but in the island itself; its untouched nature and the people that
haven't been possessed by tourist commercialization (yet) but who are hospitable
in an authentic, "native" way. At the same time this lifestyle is reflected
in high quality food and wine offer set in the real Meditteranean ambience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="HR" style="font-family: Helvetica;">The trip (with
the average of 10 nautical miles of paddling per day) itself is designed for
reasonably fit people with kayaking experience. But it is not just about navigating
around this beautiful island and its beaches; we dare to say there's more to it
because this journey takes you through both the history and the culture of
these parts that have been inseparable since the ancient times, long before
Greeks and/or Romans sailed across the Adriatic till our present days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
After a long period of warm weather, it seams that winter has started. After days of strong winds and rainy days, first snow flakes have fallen on our mountain peaks in Dalmatia, giving them new beauty.<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
One of these mountains is Biokovo mountain in central Dalmatia, which was named for its snowy whiteness.</div>

As we drew from Split, to Makarska, our starting point the weather didn't look promising. The rain was still falling, so we decided to postpone our walking for an hour. A unplanned second coffee this morning was exactly what I needed in order to be ready for a great walk ahead. <br />

Rain stoped and nothing could stop us. We started our hike with 2.5h uphill walk. Beautiful scenery and views on surrounding islands which occasionally were effected with rain and lighting. It was great to look at those events from a distance. </div>

Great marked trails, geology and views, first encounter with snow this season, made the day just right. </div>

FROM HVAR ADVENTURE TO CROACTIVE HOLIDAYS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="HR">9 years ago the four of us (the founders) met on
the island of Hvar, (called For in the local dialect), picking olives and later
that night over sea food and local wine decided to form the agency not exactly
knowing where it would take us. We didn't have role-models – adventure tourism in
Croatia was still a new territory back then and we were curious. This is when our mother company was born: <a href="http://www.hvar-adventure.com/">www.hvar-adventure.com</a> - offering great day trips on Hvar island.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="HR"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8 years after, a new child was born based in Split, with a mission to offer even more exciting tours on wider territory. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.croactive-holidays.com/">www.croactive-holidays.com</a> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we all have great passion for Dalmatia and Croatia in general, our new project developed with a mission to take you to places in Croatia we love, not only the most popular ones that you read about in guide books...</div>

<span lang="HR">In fact, our trips reflect our personalities.
We've never stopped exploring the nature of things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="HR">We are all locals fluent in English and some
of us speak Spanish, German, Italian. We know people, characters, stories,
restaurants, secrets and secret/secluded trails, coves, groves, all kinds of
places outside Lonely planet. We know where, when and how to find a solitary
spot in the middle of the highest season. We care and want our guests to have
best possible time when travelling, because everything less than that is simply
no good for anybody involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="HR"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="HR">We know that by selling our services in a way
we are selling ourselves and that may sound awkward at first, but only by
committing yourself totally you're able to deliver something truly good and our
aim is to leave every single guest with the feeling of well-earned pleasure. Of
course, it takes two to tango, so we do our best and if the clients do the
same, as a song goes, we're certain to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Well, partially it is true for most people, but there is always "...but..."<br />
If laying on the beach and getting even tan, or going out in most popular clubs or summer beach parties and festivals are not your constant concerns, that words which follow might be interesting to you.<br />
<br />
Try answering a very basic question: is there urge for the Adventure in your hart or not?<br />
<br />
Forget about crowds and prepare yourself for something completely different: Quiet, but yet challenging enough to make your senses awake. <br />
<br />
Being out on the sea is always spacial, in summer time or now in November, it always makes me happy. It is true that in summer you can see the calm face of the sea most of the days, and that in autumn the weather can be unpredictable, changing its moods quite often. But why should this stop anyone to do something one likes?<br />
<br />
This is a story of a great November weekend in Croatia spent with dear friends:<br />
<br />
It is beginning of November, as the weather forecast says, on Friday and Saturday would be fair weather, while on Sunday they announced some rain and winds. Good enough for us, so the decision was made; we go sea kayaking this weekend.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It was Friday around noon. Wether was warm and sunny, sea looked perfect, so there was nothing stoping us to follow our intentions. Started from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Ciovo" target="_blank">Ciovo</a> island, we kayaked across to the islands of Veli and Mali Drvenik.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Passing by a group of small rocks and islets, we set a goal to use the advantage of nice weather and to do a longer leg of the planned route. So it brought us to the island of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drvenik_Mali" target="_blank">Drvenik Mali</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Even the weather was great, we did need to put some extra effort around the south side of Drvenik Mali, because there was a current running in opposite direction that ours. No big deal, but just a bit of extra work. Due to this extra work we have done another stop on a beautiful beach, to have some food and swimm. Yes, you read well: It is November and we were swimming.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The sea kayaking day ended in a small island village of Drvenik. But not for all of us. Part of the group decided to go fishing for squids. And luckily we had the best fresh squid caught just there, in front of the small island. Freshest grilled squids and great local red wine really seamed like a reward on the end of our paddling day.<br />

On Saturday the weather didn't look as good as on Friday, so we did start bit slow that day. The south wind started to pick up and rainy clouds were approaching. We all felt like we needed and extra coffee to makes us function (and it doesn't have any connection with the red wine we drunk night before).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

We did a shorter part today, from Drvenik Mali to Drvenik Veli and to beautiful lagoon of Krknjasi on its east part - crystal sea lagoon surrounded with little islands. In summer packed by boats and people, but in November just us. We had this beautiful place just for ourselves. Well almost. We met a new friend there, he was living on one of the islets.</div>
