A slight recap of yesterday – we sailed to Trstenik, which is a very small community on the mainland of Croatia, a lovely little bay famous for the local wines and the winery of Grgic – we went there for a “tour” and a “taste” – the wines were not exactly to our taste, but it was a very pleasant afternoon.

Followed by the boats “captains” dinner which was great fun.
A generous meal with slightly alcohol fuelled dancing on the after deck. The captain’s hat was passed around with the wearer having to perform a solo “dance”. Quite a night and a resultant slow start this morning.
Today we sailed to Mljet – it is almost indescribably beautiful. Moored, and went for a very cool swim. Then we sat in a little café by the harbour waterfront – capucchino in hand, free wi-fi a bonus! Caught up with mail and Facebook. A great lazy day ahead as we summon the energy to walk to an inland lake.

"Sailing" our token effort!
After lunch aboard we walked over the hill to the salt lakes and an old monastery beyond, which I hope the photo’s will do justice.

Tonight, we are having dinner ashore with some friends from the UK we’ve made on the boat – good times! Don’t know when we’ll be able to post again….
I have no idea how to pronounce those place names, but Croatia is certainly beautiful!

It really does look magical!
ReplyDeleteThe monastery in particular. They were obviously not ascetics!
