Vela Luka – Korcula – Vela Luka, Croatia
Yayyyyy!!! I got a day off today! Finally! After 12 days of 12-hour workdays!!!
I was debating either to sleep in and rest up or to use it to explore other town on the island last night but I naturally woke up at 8 in the morning so I guess off to Korcula it was for me.
The bus left at 10am and the trip took an hour. The bus station is situated across the bay from where the dive center is. It’s nice not to be there for a change! Ha!
Korcula is a nice little town, and when I say little, it’s little….. I only spent 4 hours there and I pretty much walked through most of the alleyways in the main part of the town. It’s quite a touristy place since the town boasts of being the birthplace of Marco Polo. And who the hell was Marco Polo and what the hell did he do? I, for sure, don’t know. So here’s Marco Polo’s Wiki entry in case you’re interested.
By the way, Korcula probably has the most unfriendly bunch of cats:
I finally got to put my Croatian phrases to use. I was talking to a store owner’s kid today. I went “Dobar dan, kako se ti zoves? Zovem se Elys. Drago mi ye!” on her. The mom ended up speaking to me in Croatian thinking I knew my shit.
Croatian phrase of the day:
