Cold and Blustery......
I cycled to Jelsa, mainly because I was short of diesel and I wanted to suss out the prices and location of the filling station. It turns out that Jelsa is quite a pretty little town.
There is a generous sized harbour.
And some big pineapples, hah!
I was just tootling about when I happened across this wonderful looking restaurant.
Paradiso Restaurant, Jelsa.
Irresistible really!
The view looking one way
And the view looking the other!
They forced(!) me to have the fish special which was a mixed dish of local delicacies, mussels, grilled calamari, langoustines, and a local fish that tasted like sea bass. It was really special and the staff at the restaurant were charming and really good. OK there was loads of Bullsh*t and hype but it was done in good grace and the experience was excellent.
In fact they all turned out to wish me on my way. Thoroughly recommended, lovely people, good food and a wonderful location.
East of Jelsa are a number of beautiful coves and inlets.
There were 6 people in this bay, including me.
The island of Brac in the distance.
That water again! It almost looks as though the rocks are floating on the sea...
And the wind had dropped.
The green hill in the middle is where my campsite is located.
And the open road, nobody about but me!
And Hvar is beautiful, take my word for it.
End of post.
