Oh yeah, we went on a pirate ship during the #HiveFest, although it was quite hard, in the end the weather improved a bit and we made it. Although this was not the kind of ship where you're deprived of food and kept prisoner, this was quite the opposite.
Among many interesting things we could do or not do, our hosts ensured a complete plan, which did not skip lunchtime and that is something I was very grateful for.
Although to get to this, we certainly woke up quite early, taking into consideration not to delay the time but at the same tired enough from all the previous activities we happily went through. Well, if I am writing this, I can't imagine the exhaustion and stress of the organizers, I think it must have been quite a long one for them.
We didn't know exactly what the wind or rain would bring, but at least it was certain that we would set sail from Split. And set sail we did. The tour gave us beautiful scenery and incredible views as we went along, maybe not in bright sunshine, but it felt more like a pirate atmosphere to me and I really liked it.
Pues sí, nos subimos a un barco pirata durante el #HiveFest, aunque costó lo suyo, al final el tiempo quiso mejorar un poco y lo logramos. Aunque este no era el barco en donde te privan de comida y te mantienen prisionero, esto fue todo lo contrario.
Entre muchas cosas interesantes de las que podíamos hacer o no, nuestros anfitriones garantizaron un plan completo, que no pasaba por alto la hora de comer y eso es algo que yo agradezco mucho.
Aunque para llegar a esto, ciertamente nos despertamos bastante temprano, teniendo en consideración no retrasar los tiempo pero a su vez lo suficiente cansados de todas las actividades anteriores por las que felizmente pasamos. Bueno, que si yo escribo esto, no me puedo imaginar el agotamiento y el estrés de los organizadores, creo que a ellos se les habrá hecho bastante largo.
No sabíamos exactamente lo que depararía el viento o la lluvia, pero al menos estaba claro que zarparíamos desde Split. Y zarpamos. El paseo nos regalo paisajes hermosos y vistas increíbles mientras avanzábamos, quizás no con un sol radiante, pero a mí me parecía el ambiente más de piratas y realmente me gustó.
When we arrived at our destination, which I'm not exactly sure where it was, we got off the boat to a small beach with crystal clear waters, beautiful, but it was too cold to try.
We could also do some short trekking routes, so I did some walking around while chatting with all these interesting people we were with. We found some pomegranate plants and picked some, although they were not ripe enough.
The walks were on very simple paths, with demarcated terrain, and it was good for after lunch.
It was a short time after we arrived, we decided that the water was too cold to linger there and be called to eat inside the boat. By 12:15 we were on our way to eat on the pirate ship and I think we were all pretty hungry.
Cuando llegamos a nuestro destino, que no tengo muy claro exactamente en dónde era, nos bajamos del bote hacia una pequeña playa de aguas cristalinas, preciosa, pero hacía demasiado frio para intentarlo.
También podíamos hacer algunas breves rutas de trekkinn, así que di alguna vueltecita cerca mientras charlaba con toda esta gente interesante con la que estábamos. Conseguimos unas plantas de granada y cogimos algunas, aunque no estaban lo suficientemente maduras.
Los paseos eran por caminos muy sencillos, con el terreno demarcado y nos vino muy bien para después de comer.
Pasó poco tiempo desde que llegamos, decidimos que el agua estaba demasiado fría para quedarse ahí y ser llamados a comer dentro del bote. A las 12:15 ya estábamos yendo a comer al barco pirata y creo que todos teníamos bastante hambre.

The menu was not too complicated, we had two options to choose from, as well as for vegan diners.
We could choose between fried fish and chicken, accompanied with grilled vegetables, cabbage salad and ajvar, the wonderful vegetable pate, based on red peppers, garlic and eggplant, with which they accompany everything around here.
For the vegan menu, you could decide between grilled vegetables with cabbage salad and ajvar, or a vegetable risotto that looked very good.
There was also bread, white wine, red wine and water freely available for everyone.
I decided to try the fried fish, I wasn't quick enough to ask what kind of fish it was, because I was too distracted and happily chatting. But I was quite satisfied with my choice, it was a bit cold, but we were a big group and the ship's kitchen was in the wind, so having everything ready to be served only when we sat down, made it hard to keep warm, but I hardly think that fried fish can taste bad (as long as you like it of course).
As for the other options, I appealed to 
El menú no era muy complicado, teníamos dos opciones para elegir, al igual que para los comensales veganos.
Podíamos escoger entre pescado frito y pollo, acompañados con vegetales a la parrilla, ensalada de repollo y ajvar, el maravilloso paté vegetal, a base de pimientos rojos, ajo y berenjena, con lo que acompañan todo aquí.
Para el menú vegano, se podía decidir entre los vegetales a la parrilla con ensalada de repollo y ajvar, o un risotto vegetal que tenía muy buena pinta.
Había además pan, vino blanco, vino tinto y agua a libre disposición de todos.
Yo decidí probar el pescado frito, no fui lo suficientemente rápida para preguntar cuál clase de pescado era, porque estaba muy distraída y felizmente conversando. Pero estuve bastante satisfecha con mi elección, estaba un poco frio, pero éramos un grupo grande y a la cocina del barco entraba el viento, así que por tener todo preparado para solo servir al momento de sentarnos, hizo que no se mantuviese el calor, pero difícilmente creo que un pescado frito pueda saber mal (siempre que te guste claro).
En cuanto a las otras opciones, recurrí ay

Liz's risotto was impregnated with ajvar, I wasn't sure if she had actually liked this ingredient, but LUK and I were delighted, so much so that I decided to go to the kitchen to ask for some more, because we still had a lot of bread and salad.
When I went to get more ajvar I realized that this one was from a jar, although that didn't make it any less tasty, the truth is that I was even surprised to see the jar because I had almost taken it for granted that they had made it themselves, but it is something so used and so common that they have it accessible everywhere. I should have paid more attention to the brand, but everything I read over there seemed super hard to remember.
Anyway, the ajvar party started and I improvised some tapas with bread and cabbage salad that turned out to be really good, in my opinion hahaha. The truth is that if we didn't have to return on a boat, with the possibility of getting seasick, I would have prepared a few more tapas.
Our tour couldn't fulfill the full itinerary that the Korsaro usually covers, time and weather were against us, plus there were several fellow attendees who had to leave directly to the airport upon arrival. But we didn't miss out on their gastronomic experience and that's what we wanted to experience around here. Bon appetit!
El risotto de Liz estaba impregnado de ajvar, no quedé muy segura si a ella le había gustado mucho este elemento, pero LUK y yo estábamos encantadas, tanto que decidí acercarme a la cocina para pedir un poco más, porque teníamos mucho pan y ensalada aún.
Cuando fui a buscar más ajvar me di cuenta que este era de bote, aunque eso no lo hacía menos sabroso, la verdad es que hasta me sorprendió ver el bote porque daba casi por hecho que lo habían hecho ellos mismos, pero es que es algo tan usado y tan común que lo tienen accesible en cualquier lugar. Tuve que haber prestado más atención a la marca, pero todo lo que leía por allá me parecía super difícil de recorder.
En fin que se vino la fiesta del ajvar e improvisé unas tapas con pan y ensalada de repollo que resultó estar buenísimo, a mi parecer jajaja. Lo cierto es que si no hubiésemos tenido que volver en un barco, con posibilidades de poder marearnos, me hubiese preparado unas cuantas tapas más.
Nuestro recorrido no pudo cumplir el itinerario completo que suele cubrir el Korsaro, tiempo y clima estaban en nuestra contra, además había varios compañeros que tenían que irse directamente para aeropuerto al llegar. Pero no nos perdimos su experiencia gastronómica y eso es lo que queríamos experimentar por aquí. ¡Buen provecho!
Thanks for dropping by!
