Back on the Hog

The only phrase we have learned in Croatian is "I get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog." At $12 per gallon its a good thing. We rented Croatian Mopeds (distinct from regular mopeds in that they are in Croatia) and drove across Hvar. The scenery was spectacular as most of the island is untouched and covered with lavendar and vistas of distant islands. A highlight was watching Stephen Houghton hold up a line of 6 cars including a bus because his underpowered moped couldn't make it up the hill at the prescribed speed limit. We found our way to the tiny town of Stari Grad and were rewarded with fresh homeade Gelato which was simply the best we have ever tasted.
