6 October 2023 Budva: Off to the Local Hawaii Island

 


We took the boat over to the island in the bay.  It is called Hawaii Island but we don't know why, since it is not in the middle of the pacific.  The morning started with para-gliders flying off of the mountains and landing in town.  Leslie heard later that one of them had to escape from his glider and use a parachute.  Then we headed over to the island, it was only 10 euros for the both of us roundtrip.   We enjoyed the trip and walked around the island.  It is pretty small and it did not take a long. As we rounded the trail we saw some very dark clouds.  Weighing our options, we decided that if it was going to rain we were better back on the mainland.  We continued towards the ferry boat and just as we got there it started raining.  On the trip back was in the rain and the driver took this opportunity to gun the engines as hard as he could.  He came within a foot of the breakwater on the way out and just as close to a big ship once we were back in the marina.  It was still raining when we arrived back on the mainland so we headed to the market.  After buying a few items we saw little cat houses and a old church and graveyard.  Then it was back to the pad to enjoy the liquids that we purchased at the market.



A bit cloudy in the morning


Out of the sky, pars-sails pop out


Dropping down fast


Four at a time


Landing in the middle of town


A helicopter was circling all day


I took the trash out and was baffled by all of these bananas


On the boat


Is that beer?


Out driver was very low key


Passing the big ships


Hawaii Island


Gotta take a call


Love the blue waters


We have landed


The beach was very rocky


But there were folks enjoying the sun


these rocks were massive, look in between them and you will see a guy standing on the center boulder


The water is so clear


The cliffs are so tall


An extraordinary place


The cactus like it here


Looking back to the mainland


Loosing the light as the clouds roll in


Here comes the rain


A tiny church


A boat turned into a hut


The sign says it all


Season is over so the cushions are going into storage


Gus the gull


A larger boat is also leaving due to the rain


It is coming down


Hot dog driving at its worst


Blue skies to our left


Pulling into the old town marina


Soom to be back on land


Another needlessly close encounter


Shopping and dropping


Tiny dried fishes


Are they good, we will never know


Many kinds to buy


Little houses for the cats


Cat #6 lives here

The cemetery 


The gate was cool


The second bulding


Cat butt
