Three Weeks In Paradise. 19. Jerolim

Everytime we come to Hvar, we spend at least one day on Jerolim, the most Easterly of the Pakleni Otoci, a short distance in front of Hvar harbour. The beach here has a long tradition as a naturist spot, allegedly since the mid 19th century.

We always pay a visit to Mare, a cousin of First-Mate, her playing friend from summer holidays, and my hero: she had the courage to give up a promising career in IT to return to her loved island and open a beach bar.

After spending the day on the beach, we waited for the last taxi-boat to leave before returning to Hvar, where aunt Bonina was waiting for us with a delicious dinner of rice with vegetables.
