Walk off up into the high lavender meadows
halikowski Says: This photo is taken from next to the `upomenik', the monument to those victims of fascism in World War 2, a place for nice views. Above is forest, lavender fields and crags. And secret places where those using chemical toilets dump the contents once ievery so often.

Appartmans Bojanic: Experience village charm (and a good night's rest)
halikowski Says: There are at least two apartments (one for three people, the other for five). Price for the smaller is 40 euros/night in high season, going down to 35 until the end of June and 30 (I think!) in September. Nice owners: don't need to go and buy island products (wine, oil,...

halikowski Says: A lots of people are frightened by the challenges of Hvar's mountain roads. My great-aunt was killed when her son fell asleep at the wheel. No chance of that happening here!
be careful of wanting to restore old houses!
halikowski Says: Putting ina new front door. Drago the locksmith looks on. Job was OK in the end, though south-facing wooden doors need protection from the moist winter `yugo'. Neighbour Nenad buys UV lac, which serves as good protection from the sun as well.
halikowski Says: free running, and with a tendency to hunt out tasty tit-bits lying around. Cats and mice are at it too.
be careful about wanting to restore old houses
halikowski Says: I once had all kinds of crazy ideas.. I bought a tiny Fiat Panda because I thought I could drive it up the small alleyways and park it in the `dvor'. Took the measurements at all the narrow points of the alley, and seemed to be OK. Widened the entrance gate. But I needed to...
be careful about wanting to restore old houses
halikowski Says: Drago thinks there is nothing better in this world than drinking Karlovacko pivo, eating some salami with home-grown spring onions on a summer's evening. From last year's experience, I would say he's right. But he wasn't that impressed with my gardening skills (thinking...
be careful of wanting to restore old houses!
halikowski Says: This is the current state of my kitchen. But it is nothing compared to bigger structural headaches.. water (moisture) comes through the porous limestone walls from the street, and to properly insulate it I would have to dig up half the street, which the locals will not be so...
View from the path up to the karst fields.
halikowski Says: You can see the island Brac. It would be difficult to describe the path, it isn't signed or anything. But if you go up from the village and pass some rocks daubed with red paint, then you have reached Nenad's land, and you have veered too far to the left. Go back and head...
View from the karst fields on the tops
halikowski Says: My friend Herve (from Brussels) pushed me to walk up to the rocky plateau on the top of the island with him. Magnificent views (this shot was taken in March). Isn't the landscape dry? The old folk say it was much drier than when they were young.
halikowski Says: This is me with a builders' bag walking up to the village at the end of March. I still haven;t worked out all the paths that cross the vineyards. The wine is good, full of body, costs 22 k./litre and can be bought at most of the houses. My friend Drago buys from the mythical...
Walk to the highest point on Hvar, Sv. Nikola
halikowski Says: There is a small road you need to take as you approach Svirce from Vrisnik. It veers left as if along the valley. After a while it gives out into a mule track, you follow it for approx. 1 hr. 15 mins up to Sv. Nikola
halikowski Says: All the Croatian islands are criss-crossed with falling-down stone walls from the time when herding sheep and goats was still common. Unlike Italy, where, say, Tuscans are so proud of keeping up their food-making traditions, in Croatia it is not so well kept up. The fields...

Vrisnik, a `gentle settlement'.
Summer house - village on Hvar. Most people prefer neighbouring Pitve, which has a more spectacular position.. but Vrisnik has its own tennis court, bakery, and is a bit more lively.
