Tratoria Hum, Komiža, Vis, Croatia


Kavana Pizzeria "Tratoria" Hum - Somewhat odd place. On waterfront. First place from pier, first place for beer. Good pizza. Weird interior with an interesting installation inside (see picture below). Waitress said it this place used to be an airport. Island humour. Has billiard tables. Laid back. Vis is not definitely Hvar.

Likes mountaineering, loves sea and her golden retriever Brin and recently read Dressed For Death by Donna Leon, which she cannot recommend.


Mark Toplak - Software Support Center Manager for several products - from Tivoli, Websphere and other brands, several operating systems and hardware platforms - at IBM Slovenia office. IBM Slovenia has second level support center for several products from Tivoli and WebSphere brand. Grew up as fourth generation native Ljubljana citizen, now lives in Zapuže, which is not Radovljica. FS graduate, as a student also tested medicines for money. Worked for Intertrade (today S&T), part of which became IBM, went to MZR and returned again to IBM. Working on his MBA degree at Warwick, together with Nadim, Mazen, Predrag and others. Avid skier, sailing skipper, drives BMW 1200ST. Recently read Prišleki by Lojze Kovačič, which he highly recommends.


A puzzling installation inside Hum restaurant. Dijana, the waitress, said it's a sex machine, but that is just one of many interpretations. Islands tend to get lonely off season.


Jastožera, an amazing restaurant in Komiža on Vis. Even worth just to peek inside for a moment.
