In between the 2 towns of island Vis

It is a military island with all the secrets that military usually leaves behind when it leaves. A story tells that is possible to go from one side of the island to other thought the underground tunnels, crazier version even tells, that it is possible to transport a ship from one side to other through the tunnels.

First attraction of the day is to visit the tunnel that is built to hide a big war ship, back there is our small boat




Second attraction of the day is to repeat the fun we had 2003 in Omiš to surff behind the boat.


Third attraction: visiting Drazen’s parents in the middle of the island. Having a very good lunch and drinking Vana Tallinn. Singing with the village singer who was on the way home to have a dinner but got attracted to visit our dinner. He was caught by his wife later on cause we started to sing and his wife heard us and got extremely angry. Aah, these things happen :)

Lunch at Villa de Drazen. Behind there is the only filed of the island, called The Field. During the war times they were able to turn it into airport within 24 hours.

Fourth attraction: visiting the other town Komiše where there was the annual fisherman’s day. Way too many people, very good smells of grilled fish. But we were so full after eating at Drazen’s, so we could only drink. As Drazen told, visiting the fiesta is very simple: you take a beer drink it and walk along the main street to the one end of the village. Turn around, drink some beer and walk back. And this way several times. So this is exactly what we did. At one point witnessed the fireworks, but continued our walk. Finally we were nice & drunk. Around 3 o’clock in the morning it was time to start going back to home – to the other town on the island that was 10km away.
Drazen said as we didn’t drink that much it is ok to drive. Hmm, I was rather drunk and if I remember correctly Drazen was drinking more than I did. We took the old road with all the curves, as the police will most probably be on the main road. Demn, these were fast curves! I was thanking the car we caught up, cause we were not able to pass it, so it slowed us down to 80km/h :)
