Busy... Bizzy... Bizzy bee-ing!
After the heavy-duty weekend of Carnival partying, the unexpected invite to visit Croatia by sea sounded like an enchanting plan. And so... I buzzed off.
Gatwick was the designated airport where the gang of five of us met up early Friday morning to catch a flight to Dubrovnik and, upon arrival, were driven directly to The Boat anchored in Cavtat, only minutes away. Ernest, Kelly, Torsten, Darren and I were excited to spend five days of bliss under the sun, at sea.
Through the fruition of my positive thinking at all times, even during moments of doubt, there are experiences of a surreal nature which follow me everywhere. Or am I following them? I have not even begun, nor have I had a chance to write about them... Yet. But it feels like I live in a fairy tale world, where people are meant to come back into my life in the most magical ways, and I embrace their return with open arms. I feel the need to share some of these moments...
Andrea sent me a BBM on the eve of our flight to Croatia and responded to my wall: 'What an amazing weekend. WOW'.
Andrea: "You're always so terrific and happy! I love it!!"
Me: "Thank u, baby. How have u been?"
Andrea: "Great. Miss you!!"
Me: "Me too, Chicita."
Andrea: "U sure??"
Me: "Yeah. Positive. U won't believe this: I bumped into Charlotte and Nicolas in Fabric after almost a year of not being in touch! It's great having them back in my life. We are the way we are. All of us. And that's fine when u can laugh together. The rest is what's silly. It's 'fine' now, as the Scotsman said. Remember?"
Andrea: "Yesss. That's great, Haldita! I spent Sunday with a guy friend who has brain cancer - malignant. He can barely walk! You're right; the rest is silly. He was so hot when he was 18."
Me: "Life's too bleemin' short to hold unnecessary grudges. Don't wanna do that! Packing for Croatia now."
Andrea: "Yapa! Have fuuuunn!!"
Back in Cavtat, The Captain of The Boat suggested our route for the next five days. We lunched at a bay and swam in the Adriatic Sea before heading to Hvar the next day.
We anchored at the port in Hvar, close to Carpe Diem, the club I had visited on my last visit with family, Charlotte and Nicolas.
Kelly and I got casually dressed, ready to shop. We wandered around the maze of narrow streets in Hvar while I shopped for hat after hat and wore a flamboyant black and white one to return to our domain. It was fun hanging out with Kelly, having a girlie moment of 'shop in the sun' and those photo moments!
Once back on our sacred 'place d'habitation', we joined the boys on the top deck, lying on the sunbeds, watching the world go by. We all stood up when a Ferretti780 pulled up right next to us, and if only you could see the smile of delight on our boys' faces when they encountered all the hot chicitas on board! Who could blame them? They were cute. Kelly and I returned to our seats while the boys could not take their eyes off the new arrival. Once anchored, I had to stand up and say:
"Com'on, let me see les blondes you're referring to."
As I looked on the deck below of the smoothly leathered Ferretti, there he stood, a great party friend from Mykonos, only a month before! The question was... Did I remember his name? Nope. My 'Oy' shout did not work through the blasting music deriving from their Boat. So, I got the attention of another chap onboard and asked for the name of 'the guy with curly black hair'.
"Harun," he answered.
"Please call him and tell him it's Haldita. We met in Mykonos." I shouted across.
And so he did, and not only did Harun come out, but his three other buddies from Mykonos showed up behind him and called my name with their hands in the air.
Now... What was the chance of that happening? And for me to get up and see the adorable chums with whom I partied on the beach and night in Mykonos only a month ago!!!
We partied once more while mingling and bonding our group of friends with theirs. Life is full of beautiful surprises. Once more ... I cherish every moment.
Rest of Croatia to come... Na Night.
