Author's Unusual Summer on Croatian Island: Early Mornings, Ferry Vibes, and Wild Goats

A writer, residing in a top-floor apartment above a Croatian island tavern, has been experiencing an unusual summer. The season's dampness has led to unexpected flora growth, while the island's ferry arrivals and local fishing activities have provided a lively backdrop.

The author's day begins unusually early, at 4:53 AM, roused by an unidentified loud buzzing sound. Despite the early hour, the island's ferry brings life to the village on Fridays, with people disembarking and adding to the local buzz. The author often spends evenings observing local fishermen at the dock, their activities illuminated by the setting sun.

The island's waters are home to unique marine life, including monkfish that form intricate patterns. The author's mornings involve a refreshing swim to a hotel on the other side of the bay. On Tuesdays, a particular sight catches the author's eye: a wild herd of goats, led by a striking alpha male with a long beard and impressive horns. The author also spends Mondays waiting in the post office, relying on the cashier's Wi-Fi to work.

The apartment, located near the dock, offers a prime view of the ferry's arrival and the sailors who disembark. The damp summer has caused dandelions and thyme to sprout in unusual places, adding an unexpected touch of colour to the island landscape.

The author's stay on the Croatian island has been filled with unique experiences, from the early morning wake-up call to the vibrant ferry arrivals and the chance to observe local wildlife and fishing activities. The island's natural beauty, enhanced by the unusual flora growth, provides a captivating backdrop to the author's daily life.
