Bol - 6th October

We like Bol so much we decided to stay an extra day. Our host has no problems with this as it is the end of the season and there is nobody else filling his rooms. The extra day means that we can leave going to Bol's most famous beach, the Zlatni Rat, or the Golden Cape, until today.  Otherwise we would have had to do the hike to it after our hike up the mountain yesterday.

This beach is a triangle shaped beach that sticks out into the sea and has a spine of pine trees down the middle.  It is pretty spectacular, but with fame comes fortune, and in this case the fortune is the price we pay for a diet coke and a small water.  Still as the beach is about 4km from where we are staying (we are in the quiet end of town, it is near all the hotel chains) we stay there until lunch.  Lying on the beach is not as pleasant as it sounds, in this part of Croatia all beaches (even the golden one) are very stony, and lying on them is like some sort of new age massage treatment.  Dorota thinks this is very nice, I think it is torture.

After about 3 hours on the beach we walk back to the town, get a quick lunch (a very nice sandwich) and then we go back to the beach that is nearer where we are staying.  However in the afternoon there is a bit of a drop in the temperature, and it is no longer as nice on the beach, so we finish early.

In the evening we go back to the restaurant we went to on the first night in Bol, where the meal is even better, and cheaper than the previous one.
