The Sunniest Place?

I’ve ‘repositioned’ to Croatia now!  The Island of Hvar here has a reputation as ‘the sunniest place in Europe’.  Well, it was wet, wet, wet for my afternoon visit.  Beach toys, swim ladders and sun chaises were all unoccupied, and some of the shops were even closed, taking a break from the sun-seeking swarms. I’d borrowed an umbrella from the hotel, and the rain worked its own kind of magic.  It felt at times like the island was asleep, and I had it all to myself.
