• Next Stop Miljet

    May 24 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This morning we are on our way to the Island of Miljet. We will cycle 33K from the town of Sobra to Pomena. We will travel across the middle of the island to meet the boat.

    It was a hot day, but a great ride. Along the way we went through a national park. Heavily treed, lots of birds and wonderful views. We stopped for a look at some Roman ruins of around the 4th C that were built by an exiled Roman.

    After the bikes were loaded on the boat, we left for the island of Korcula, where we will spend the night.

    We arrived in Korcula. It is truly a gem. We walked around the town a bit and then returned to the boat to clean up.

    At 1830 we're going on a guided tour. Following this, we'll find somewhere to have dinner ashore.

    The tour thru the old town was very informative. The fortified city with was built by the Venetians in the 1300's. They claim this to be the birth place of Marco Polo.

    We had dinner with Wayne and Jen at a restaurant that had a outdoor grill. I had a mixed grill. Far too much meat, but very tasty. We shared a bottle of local white wine called Gyk. It was delicious.
