How is the water where you are?
Whenever I start missing Hvar in the colder shoulder season months, I check the Facebook pages of my friends in Vrbanj, the Scottish Vrbanjites, a small but hardy group of Scots who have chosen to make the island their home.
They are a very active bunch, keen to explore the island in its entirety and in love with its nature.
And they love to swim.
All year.
The island of Hvar yesterday, December 4, 2017. A Scottish cycling and swimming haven.
