This morning, we slept in until around 10 to make sure we were well rested for a day/night of partying in Hvar.  At 10AM, we picked up breakfast and then headed over to the Paklinski Islands. The Paklinski Islands are located a few miles off the coast of Hvar and have many outdoorsy, entertainment/party/dining, and other opportunities. We ended up taking a boat taxi (for 40 Kuna roundtrip) to Carpe Diem Beach.  On the boat ride, we met Draco, a young guy from Geneva who lived in West LA for a year about 10 years ago.  He was in real estate so we chatted about that a little bit and exchanged information. Draco suggested we go to Hula Hula, a beachfront day club, between 5pm and 10pm.  At 10pm, he suggested we go out for dinner, shower, etc, and then at midnight we go to Carpe Diem.

Once we got off the taxi boat, we realized that there wasn’t much to do on this island except swimming and lounging at the cabana bar.  The cabana bar was empty but it was a great atmosphere.  We lounged on the bed/pillows for about an hour and I ordered a chocolate milkshake.  Towards the end of our stay on the island, I went swimming for 5-10 minutes inside the beautiful, clear water.

Once back at Hvar, Mike and I walked around Downtown Hvar.  Along the shore, there was a beautiful hotel with a rooftop bar.  We decided to go up to the rooftop bar to experience the view and atmosphere.  The bar had huge windows facing the harbor, and the view was amazing.  We ordered coffees and enjoyed the view for about 30 mins.

At 4pm, Mike went back to the hostel to relax and I hiked up to Napoleon Fort and also the main Hvar Fortress overlooking the city.  The panoramic views of city, ocean, and Paklinski islands were great and I enjoyed the hikes, even though it was very hot and sunny.

At about 6pm, Mike and I started pregaming on the hostels patio and then headed to Hula Hula around 8pm.  People were partying and drinking a lot, and it was a fun experience.

We then went out for dinner in Downtown Hvar, showered and freshened up at the hostel, and then walked over to Carpe Diem.  Instead of going to the main Carpe Diem location in Hvar, we boarded a complimentary taxi to Carpe Diem Beach (where we had been earlier today) to go to the nightclub on the beach.  The entrance fee was 150 kuna/person, but Mike overheard a few people say they were invited by Yohan and get in for free.  Mike told the bouncer that we were with Yohan, and he reluctantly let us in.  The atmosphere was great with lots of outdoor dancing and drinking.  After a couple hours, the party was still in it’s prime but we took a boat taxi back to Hvar and called it a night at 3am.
