Active, active ...

Yesterday evening was lively, enjoyable, and really nice with the landlords. But since I knew we wanted to get up early in the morning, it couldn't go on endlessly.

We get up at 6:30 in the morning and hike to the church, which is located on a hill. My body is still asleep, I'm panting pretty hard because of the steep slope. I decide not to give up, even though I quickly lose interest... but after 5 km we reach the top of the hill and the old village of Podstrana. Until about 100 years ago, all the residents of Podstrana lived there. Oh dear....

Naturally, the church is closed, but I guess that's not the point, the journey is the destination.

We go downhill again, breakfast is waiting and I eat as if there's no tomorrow. Well-deserved!

We decide to spend the day at the beach, because I discovered a SUP station and all the fellow travelers have been wanting to try it for a while.

First, we try a kind of couch that is pulled by a jetski. Life jacket on, no instructions, and off we go. It's fast - why am I doing this again? I don't like speed on the water - but it's fun. One of us realizes once again that she is sitting on a fast vehicle with a full bladder.... and she struggles. The spinning, bouncing, and laughing certainly don't help😃.

Action two: finally renting the SUP. The uncle shows how it's done, he tries, trembles, kneels, falls, falls, and falls... but eventually he gets the hang of it and it goes (almost) smoothly.

The aunt also looks good standing up.... as do I and the mother sitting down.

Speaking of the aunt - how nice of her to shuttle me back and forth on the SUP while I'm lying down and sunbathing. I like it!

The day ends with more paddle attempts, deeply tanned skin, and delicious food 🤗🙂
