Discovering the Brac


Our first full day on the Brac was good. (Friday the 30th) We slept in as we were still quite fatigued from our all night flight to get here.  After a breakfast in our seaside condo we set out in the car to explore the island.  We drove along 90% of the paved road circumventing the island.  Although there are a few very nice places the majority of the island has small quaint cottages.  Traffic is sparse.  Everyone is friendly.  They always wave as you drive by.  We chose a small sandy road on private property to access a beach to lounge on and do some snorkeling.  The morning was mostly sunny and we had the whole stretch of beach to ourselves.  The seas are fairly rough right now so the snorkeling was a bit challenging even behind the barrier reef.  Back to the condo for lunch.  Then it was off to find some rock climbing.  I chose to try a crag close to our end of the island.  The Orange Cave.  It turned out to be just what we were looking for.  Easier routes on juggy holds.  Once again that end of the island was ours for the day.  We explored some other caves nearby and walked the iron shore before cleaning up and driving down to the Brac Reef Resort for an outside buffet of Jerked Chicken and steak listening to live music from a local "Bob Marley".  I think tomorrow we are going to do the same thing all over again.
