I never really understood the whole Marco Polo game that people played in the pool … seems popular for some reason.
We’re still in Korcula, at least for a few more hours. Korcula claims Marco Polo to be their own … apparently he was born here once upon a time. Loads of shops, hotels, etc. bear his name … hopefully it is what he would have wanted.
Croatia has given us most of what we were after … mainly a place to slow down and enjoy the fact that we’re far from home, on a very long vacation. We’re heading back to Dubrovnik tomorrow, which is a bit of a step backwards geographically, but, it felt like we had a bit of unfinished business there. As this trip has gone along, three or four days was usually more than enough to tire of the city we were in. Dubrovnik was a little different. We’re scheduled for another three days, and then will move north up the Dalmatian coast to Split … can’t wait to have fun with that name.
I had hoped to get some photos online today, but, the intense hot weather took over. Seems that the very fragile power grid here was taken down by the local demand for electricity … I expect that there are a lot of air conditioners cranking away. It’s a hot part of the world, but today was especially hot. Given the power failures this afternoon, I won’t be putting photos online … they’ll make it sometime, and hopefully they’re worth the wait.
