Sun 7 Sep- after a leisurely morning breakfast, we met with Ivan for coffee at the Vidikovac to discuss our plans. There are many possibilities, including multi-day cruises of the islands; ferry excursions to Split and Dubrovnik, bus tours to various parks and other places of interest. Then Ivan showed us around Kastav, explaining the places we had noticed and wondered about yesterday.
There was an accordion festival in the afternoon, where accordion players and groups from the surrounding area came and performed in an open-air theater. It was quite interesting to experience the festival; it was as much a social event as a performance - people were greeting friends and having lively conversations as the music played in the background. Everyone seemed happy and friendly, glad to socialize on the nice afternoon about 26-27 C.
Back at the apartment we had a light supper with plenty of vegetables and salad, plus some delicious home-made white wine that Ivan gave us. He also gave us a bottle of red wine, which is also excellent, nice flavor and bouquet, but mild and smooth. Ivan explained that many families make their own wine, and compete to produce the best. His was certainly one of the best!
