We enjoyed exploring the fortress and then headed back down the hill with enough time to explore the town. Just like in Rovinj, I delighted in wandering around the maze of narrow streets in Hvar ... much of which is on a hillside. And although not as colorful as Rovinj, the charm of this little town captivated me. I wish we could have stayed there longer!

Because the streets in Hvar are so narrow and irregular and the homes virtually unmarked, it was often difficult to know if I was turning onto another street or onto someone's property.

We only had a few hours in Hvar town before we were to take our catamaran to Korcula. Tina spent a few minutes giving us ideas of what we could do. My mom, Kate, and I decided to take the hike up the hill to the fortress. Once there, we had a marvelous view of Hvar and its harbor.

I had just enough time to explore the harbor a little before boarding our Catamaran to go to Korcula. I hope that I someday can return to Hvar!
