    After our walk around the Old Town, we met our tour group at Park Slobode which was just to the left down the sidewalk after passing the port exit. We boarded the speedboat and headed our to a popular tourist site, the island of Our Lady of the Rocks where a church was built to honor the sighting of Mary at this location. It is a man made island and on July 22 (we just missed it, but it probably would have been a zoo) many people visit the island to drop rocks at the location. Today, it was busy with tourists coming and going around all sides of the island.

    From here we went into one of the submarine hideouts used in WWII. Today, the hideaway gates are left open and the pseudo rocks are actually pieces of styrofoam that were camouflaged to hide the entrances.

    On the way to the famous Blue Cave, we passed by an old prison which is being revamped into a high end hotel.

    Once arriving at the Blue Cave, we had to maneuver around numerous boats and eventually found a spot alongside the cliff to float around. The water was chilly, clear, and briny.
