tables, but no people?
After our bus and water adventures in krka, we found our way to a
luxury camping mega resort, (croatian style) Solaris. This location
initiates a theme for the trip: high season vs. low season.
The high season starts on June 1. Right now, we reside in the
preparation stage for the high season. We get to watch the best of
Croatian construction, sculpture carving, and beach creation. Our
pensions are vacant, cheap and quite lovely. The beaches are open and
the restaraunts are happy to serve us. These luxuries put us in a
state to easily roll with the bus and ferry schedules, which are
really just loose guidelines.
After setting up in our beach side accomodations (check out the
picture to come), we went for a swim in a salt water infinite pool and
the Adriatic. We then ventured out to check out the resort that will
shortly become a highly populated and lively setting. However around
dinner time on this day, we walked into a completely deserted hotel,
passed several closed restaurants, and strolled over yet to be
completed sidewalks.
Another benefit of the low season is the people we meet. On the bus
ride over, we met some tahoe guys that bought a sailboat in Greece 9
years ago when they were in high school. Each summer, they sail around
the med. and store their boat during the off season. They were
preparing it for it's final voyage because now they want to explore
the seas in Florida. As they delighted us in their sailing and
repairing adventures, our waiter (who lived in New York for a while)
decided that a few Americans could use a free round... After all, it's
the low season!
