The best way to start the day …

If you feel like doing some sports on holiday, Korcula will be the place for you.

We found the perfect combination for an energetic start into the day – and that´s what it looks like …

Looking ahead – and in memory of the culinaric Mediterranean delights of Croatian restaurants from the previous year and the associated horror during the subsequent walk on the scales – we have already brought our sports utensils from home – sport shoes, shorts and shirt are enough, the summer temperatures have never left us even thinking about a jacket.

Sweat flows when muscles cry … 🙂

So we start well prepared and climb the new trail, which starts right next to the tennis court. Here a few “sports hungry” guests are already on training and the sound of the striking balls accompanies us on the first few meters. The narrow path leads up well shaded by the surrounding trees in serpentines. The path is well secured and marked, so you can follow him easily.

We walk on over small stone formations, in between benches invite us to make a short stopover.

After about half an hour we arrive on the top – and it’s hot! 🙂

A massive lookout tower made of sturdy wooden logs rewards us with a fantastic view of the Peljesak channel. Blue water in all its shades as far as the eye can see. We have a great view of our private beach. Below us, yachts and trawlers meet in quiet agreement on the sea, in between imposing sailing yachts are  gliding and the Jadrolinija plows through the floods to deliver the next sun-seekers at the port.

Only in a quiet pond the light of the stars is reflected

We enjoy the tranquility up here – the cicadas are chirping, a light breeze brings some refreshment and we are just grateful to be here and see this colossal spectacle of nature from this angle.

A few yoga exercises complete this feeling and we leave our energy place with the promise to come back tomorrow.

Hustle for that muscle

 

Now it goes down the hill, the trunks of the young trees are giving us a hand and soon we hear voices – back to civilization! 🙂

Our guests from Norway – a young family with two children – are having a  basketballmatch on the funcourt. We cheer them on for a few minutes. Yep, they take this really serious and the parents have to give their best to keep up with their children.

Coming along at Olive Apartments, where a new staircase was built this year. We take the opportunity for a few sprints upwards. The thighs are burning, but one more time should be no problem … In order to complete the sports program, after a refreshing shower we go for a swim in the pool. And finally – on the terrace with a cup of coffee and a great breakfast – here they are . the happiness hormones 🙂 … and we are already planning the next day.
