Stari Grad to Hvar Town (Hvar Island)
Omg. I am the luckiest person on the face of this planet. As I was crossing the highway to my road, I see a work truck there with two guys talking. I briefly debated in my head…. Should I, or shouldn’t I? “I’m not stupid, I should.” “
“Are you going to the top of the mountain?”
“Yes.”
“Can I have a ride?”
“Yes”.
And away we go! I thanked the guy profusely!! My angel!!

He dropped me off at Velo Grablje. I thought he was dropping me off in the little town of Brusje. At any rate, just a bit more climbing to do and I handled it with ease. The views were amazing!

Needless to say, I arrived early and had plenty of time to check out Hvar once I got settled. And omg, part II. I LOVE Hvar!! And so begins the part I was most looking forward to on this trip. The islands! I have a cute room with a fridge for only $7 more per night than a dorm bed at the hostel. The downside is I won't get to meet other people, but that’s okay for now. It’s peaceful. I did stop at one hostel with an amazing view, but wasn't too impressed overall.

I walked to town along the waterfront promenade. So nice! Stores are close by and I’m heading to the beach soon for a swim I think.
Hvar is a swanky little hot spot for the rich and famous. I fit neither of those categories I booked two nights, but I am sure I will be extending my stay. Not too long though, I just felt like my legs were getting strong! I’ve still got miles to pedal.
I walked to town along the waterfront promenade. So nice! Stores are close by and when I got back, I decided to head to the beach for a swim. More pictures tomorrow. Just thrilled to be here for a few days.

Also some intel - I rode along the lake from Virprazar and stuck to pavement. Almost no traffic and good if you’re deciding on a route. But there are hills.
