Pag Island

Today was a super fun day! We started driving to our first stop and all of a sudden there were big islands that had no green and were just rocks! They looked so strange! Especially cause everything else was so green!

Our first stop was a bird sanctuary to try and see some Ibis birds and we did! As well as a great egret (there is one in the second photo, but probably pretty blurry by the time I post these) and some other smaller birds and lots of weird bugs!

Then we drove through the city of Pag where there was a nice viewpoint over the city, then on to the Life on Mars trail which was super fun, but way too hot! All the reviews were like it is so so so windy! So i thought okay, even if it is direct sun it will be okay…only there was no wind! We walked to the one beach and the way there was so cool, lots of giant cliffs of rocks, some conglomerate, and lots of rocks with fossils and stuff in them! I brought back a small collection as they were so cool! If it hadn’t been as hot we would have spent a lot more time looking at the rocks.

I did try and swim at the first beach, but there were too many fishes that kept swimming at me even if I moved to try and get them to go away they kept coming…plus lots of fish in the rocks that blended in and yeah I took a quick dip and then ate lunch on my beach towel. We then walked back to another beach as the trail went through that beach and I was so hot I was like want to take a dip? It was so nice! The water was pretty cold which was perfect! We swam around for a long time until I finally cooled off enough I was getting cold. There were some fish there, but they blended in so they were hard to see and if I moved they swam away so that was good. Afterwards I said to Raymond how there weren’t as many fish there and he was like there were, you just didn’t see them and I didn’t point them out. But there were a ton of tiny ones hiding in the sand close to shore. I bent down to take some photos and they kept coming closer! But that was fine as I was out of the water ;)

Raymond’s allergies are getting bad at this point which was so strange cause it was like all rocks so we headed off to where we were staying (with a short ferry ride so we didn’t have to drive forever out and around). The place we are staying is so nice! Great views from the balcony, plus the sun sets right here and there is a ferry dock we can see and have fun watching the ferry come and go (and we have been watching a thunderstorm out on some of the islands! All the lightning, though we cannot hear any thunder). Luckily Raymond allergies settled down so hopefully they are not bad tomorrow.Baca lagi
