Just got back from Croatia. Not a working trip this time, it was a holiday in Mjlet. I had never heard of it before but it's an island off the Croatian coast north of Dubrovnic.
Took quite a while to get there. A three & a half hour flight to Dubrovnic airport, a 45 minute taxi to the ferry, an hour and a half hour ferry trip & a 40 minute bus ride to the hotel.
It was worth it with these views from our room's little balcony. The photos (not brilliant) are from my phone as I can't upload my camera photos to the laptop, can't find the wire thingy to do it. However you can still see how beautiful it is from these photos.

I spent ages just sitting watching the various boats moving around the harbour.
Every day there were boats berthing that were doing the Croatian island tours.
I particularly liked to watch the daily ferry to Dubrovnic docking. It was in and out in about 10 minutes.
Just look how clear the water is. You could see a lot of little fish but this camera wasn't good enough to pick them up.The water was quite cool for swimming but not too bad once you were in a few minutes.
Hopefully I'll get my camera photos uploaded & show a few of the national park which was a couple of minutes walk from the hotel.
That water is as clear and as blue as the beautiful sky. What lovely scenery. You get to see it all.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I've been to Croatia. I was there in about 1982 before the war when it was Yugoslavia & still communist. This time I was much further south and it is so beautiful.
DeleteThat looks so beautiful! Hope you are doing well Winifred! I am trying to get back into blogging...

What a beautiful place! I would love to see more of your photos.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I've often thought I would like to go there, and I am glad it was still warm enough to swim.how did you find this island? It sounds charming and off the beaten track.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! My sister's brother-in-law married a woman from Croatia. my sister has gotten to visit once and her photos were amazing. Wish I could see it myself!
