Today was one of those day's I can call perfect in my books. My brother works in a city of Kastela, which is located about 10km from a bigger city called Split. For a weekend he came to visit my father, and me, to our hometown city called Drnis. It is a small city of maybe 3k citizens when all the students return home from universities. It is a small city but has a lot of character. I will write about it in one of my future posts. I love it when my brother comes because he is a bit "crazy", so whenever we meet up it is a setup for some good times.
It was a hot day. About 38C(100 Fahrenheit) outside, but there was no wind at all. So, it felt like it was 50c outside on a direct sun. We were literally just sitting down and sweating our behinds off. After some time drenching in the pool of our own sweat, we had enough. I mean Croatia is a country with a beautiful Adriatic sea, and here we are sitting at home. Idiots right? lol
As soon as we came to the obvious conclusion that we are idiots, we decided it time to sit in a car and drive about 70km southwest to visit some friends living in Murter. A beautiful town with some gorgeous sand beaches, and crystal clear sea. I mean if you guys ever decide to visit Croatia it is a beautiful place to visit. On the way there we decided to snap some photos and share our experience with you guys.
We passed by a little town called Betina and had to take a quick snap of one the beaches there. Simply beautiful.
Around 11 am we arrived to Murter. We met with our friends, and spend some time catching up. After that, we went straight to a beautiful sand beach called Slanica. We could not take our shirts off faster, and dive into the beautiful crystal clear Adriatic sea. The water was amazing. It was not too warm, and not too cold. Just perfect and incredibly refreshing.
After our first dive in the water, we went to our friend's house around 1 pm for lunch. Avoiding the strongest sun which goes from about 1 to 3 pm. We had an amazing lunch of Dalmatian cuisine and spent some time with our friends catching up. We have been friends with them for a long time, and they are good-hearted and amazing family. They did not have too much time to spend with us since they all work. But, I am just glad we got to see them.
After afternoon rest, my brother and I decided to go for a second swim around 7 pm. For me, this is the best time for swimming. The sea calms down, and the scenery with the sunset is simply breathtaking. Plus most tourists left the beach, and we have it basically for ourselves. I could never understand people leaving the beach when it's most beautiful, but staying there around 3 pm in the scorching sun. Anyway, the sunset was simply amazing. Take a look for yourself.
We spent about an hour swimming under this amazing sunset and enjoyed every minute of it. Had couple "friendly" swimming competitions. It's never friendly with two of us. They are always a winner and a loser. lol The winner gets the bragging rights for a day. We took some time to take some selfies and share it with you guys. According to modern research, we both have psychological selfie disorder. You can especially see why on two of those photos. Well, you can be the judge of it. lol
P.S. He really is my brother. I know he is much lighter than me. lol
After the beach, we spent a little more time with our friends and drove back home. In my books, this is a perfect day. You really don't need much money, or material things to have one. All you need is good company, beautiful beach, and some amazing sunset. Or really just a good company. If you are in good company, it really doesn't matter where you go. You will always have a good time. Just like I always have a good time with my brother. Simply put my friends this was for me a PERFECT DAY for me.
I leave you with one of my original quotes. :)
"There is no such a thing as perfect life, but there are perfect memories and there are perfect moments. Let's live for those memories, and let's live for those moments."
Have an amazing day all,
