The trail was steep and rocky but we had panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the coastlines of the peninsula and of Korcula, where we hiked and cycled over the last few days. The views just kept getting better throughout the hike - the sea on one side and the mountain on the other. We hiked through forest and over open glacial till. We continue to be grateful that we are here in June, the wild flowers and herbs, especially the sage and rosemary, are in full fragrant bloom.
When we reached the top, we could see the Adriatic on both sides of the peninsula. We felt like we were on top of the world.
On the way down we had a picnic of pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes, olives and shaved Parmesan, plus fruit and nuts in a shady grove.
Now we need to get ready for the next next big game in the Euro Cup tonight - Croatia vs Italy.
