The Planned Day

Written before the day was lived. Held lightly. Will be replaced as it happens.

The shape of the day

A short ferry hop across to Korčula town. Walk the white-stone streets in the morning, escape the heat by midday, back to Orebić for the long afternoon.

What to do

  • 01Marco Polo's house (allegedly). The view from its tower is real.
  • 02An espresso in a tiny square nobody is in.
  • 03Afternoon swim back on the Pelješac side.

A loose rhythm

  1. MorningFerry to Korčula. Walk slowly.
  2. MiddayLunch in shade. Then ferry back.
  3. AfternoonSwim. Read. Disappear.

Why this day

Korčula is a memory before you arrive. White stone, salt, a campanile. You don't visit it; you confirm it.

How it will feel

As if you've been here before, in a dream you forgot.

Awaiting the day

Photos, essay, food, music — to be added when this day is lived.
