Today, pictures from valued commenter Sister Golden Bear.
Many visitors just stop at Korčula town itself, but since I had a car, I took a day to explore the island with many delightful off-the-beaten path places. (At least to foreign tourists, there were Croatian vacation homes everywhere along the water.)

The waters around the island were amazingly clear.

There were many coves and small bays lined with vacation homes and small boats.

Yes, it was as tranquil as it looks.
Thank you so much Sister Golden Bear, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
Once again, to submit pictures: Use the Form
With the upcoming site redesign, there will be many changes and so email submissions are over for now. Once it happens – in weeks, I imagine, there will be a slight interruption while we sort things out. So if you’re sitting on some pictures, now’s the time to submit them, using the form.

I have been to other coastal places in Croatia but not Korcula (alas!) and the clarity of the Adriatic water everywhere I went is just enchanting. You captured it really well in these pictures.

When I see pictures of water, I just want to sit on the edge of the shore. Beautiful pics.

So my news of the wierd
So I was GMing this on line role playing game, reasonably large, 900 members. It starts eating up my life, the owner starts acting weird and undermining me, I am stressing, I quit, a week and half I quit, the whole thing dies.
So big deal, thus is nerdome on the interubes. Well….
People started talking to me – the weirdness that angered me to the point I rage quit was the owner has a gambling habit, is now dead broke to cover the money shortfall was running an extortion racket and trying to hide it from me, The owner was getting the IP address of the players and threatening to doxx them to their families or work what they were doing on line (needless to say there was a lot of adults being adults, and no, I wasn’t GMing that, as hilariously awesome as that sounds, calculate to hit ACO indeed) This was all behind my back, so lovely.
And all I wanted was a role playing game.

Thanks all!
@Enhanced Voting Techniques: Well that sucks.
