Jan's Jots: Korcula Road Trip day 2

We had such a fine time in Korcula! The bora wind was blowing strongly for a couple days to we stayed put in the marina. We rented motorscooters for fun. The first day all 4 of us went out. Drove to Lumbarda where Mike and I had stopped previously, had a drink on the beach and then took them to the Grk winery. The Grk grape is only found on Lumbarda and there are only 40 hectares of grapes. Apparently there was a blight on the grapes years ago and this is the only strain left from then. It's VERY GOOD! We then went to a beach for the rest of the day (Prizina)...Mike and I had spent a night on anchor here previously! It was a very nice day.

The 2nd day Mike stayed with the boat because the bow thrusters weren't working and he was waiting on a mechanic. He was going to join us later but the mechanic didn't come until so late. Chris, Megan and I rented scooters with the intent of going to Vela Luka. But we took a scenic route instead. Crossed over the mountain on a road that was so steep was almost could go with 2 of us on a scooter! We had to make it to Pupnat ( pronounced Poop Naught) ha! We then were afraid we were low on gas so drove down the other side to the town of Smokvica where the gas station was closed until 6 PM!!!! So we went to the coast to Brna and spent the afternoon at a nice hotel with swimming area on the rocks ! Stopped at some beautiful wineries in the Smokvica, Brna area...it was a surprisingly, lovely detour and we had an enjoyable day! Made it back to Korcula marina to Mike, the boat was fixed and I made a good batch of Vegetarina sphagetti!!!!
