They're back. And I'm back too. For the last two weeks I've just been concentrating on being a dad. The boy's and I have been farting around Split together and also doing some strenuous outdoor things on the islands. Our first day together in Split coincided with the ex-pat's five-a-side kickabout so the boys joined in. Then the next day we went over to Brač to start a five day sea-kayaking adventure. We were lucky in having for our guide the coolest guy in Split. Pačo is an old acquaintance of mine from my visits to Twins Caffe Bar on Split's riva. He was our constant companion on kayak trips to the Pakleni Islands and down the south coast of Hvar to Sv. Nedelja. This was basically a rock climbing camp with a small lodge for overnight stays. We climbed the 600 m peak of Sv. Nikola which was absolutely gruelling in the heat we're getting this summer.
After the hill climbing being in the kayak was positively relaxing although paddling 20 km or so up the coast was no walk in the park, if I can put it that way.
Sometimes a dad has to do a bit of hard work to let his kids know he's there for them. And it's not always quality time that matters, just quantity time.
So that explains my absence from the blog, in case you've been wondering. I'll catch up soon.
