VIS 2

Today Rob and I hired bikes, Bryan and Jen hired scooters and Kate and Mel went by bus to Komiza on the south side of the island of Vis. It was 20 km with some decent climbs but the view along the cliff top coastal road was very spectacular. We stopped by the Konoba and Vineyard Roki where the cricket team from Cambridge first played the Croatian team 5 years ago and its become a place to go for the between season s overseas tour including the MCC this year. We met Niko Roki (Croatian born, raised in Australia and returned to Croatia in the 80's before the war) and returned for dinner to have Peki...a slow cooked meal in cast iron vessels over coals. He served his own Placa (red wine) and Vugava (white wine) the some very dangerous grappa. At Komiza it was very pretty and we hung out and had coffee and lunch and a look at the beach although nobody swam. The ride back was very steep at first then a long down hill. Tommorrow off the Hvar Town to hang with the cool people.
