Wine, shrine or down time 🇭🇷

Mum, Amr, Michael and Lisi opted for a tour to Međugorje (a shrine) and Dad, Paul, Kristi, Chad and I opted for a wine and oyster tour. We drove through beautiful scenery hugging the coast to a beautiful boutique winery - Miloš and had tour of the cellar and sampled fine wines with local artisan cheese, bread and olive oil.
We then headed to an historical town and boarded an old wooden boat to an oyster farm. We were shown how the oysters and mussels are farmed and then were given tasting samples of each. Fresh and delicious. We then made our way back by around 330pm and all headed for the Adriatic ocean for a swim. Alternatively, the hikers had a hot, steep hike on uneven rocks. Only 25 minutes up and down, however the hardest (definitely the hottest!!!) Mum and Lisi have done. After Mum and Amr’s many Caminos that is saying something! They had to travel to Bosnia 🇧🇦 and needed passports to cross the border. They enjoyed to a well deserved snack before the 2.5 hour drive back. The rest of the crew enjoyed some downtime wandering old town and swimming in the sea. Perfectly relaxed. Only drama today was Paul’s prescription sunglasses sank to the bottom of the Adriatic. He borrowed goggles and appeared to be swimming across the island in search of them when the lifeguard in one duck dive recovered them much to our amazement. We met at the Piano Bar at the hotel for sunset drinks and the kids stayed for dinner while the adults went to 360 restaurant on the stone city wall (a Michelin star restaurant that was highly recommended) and it didn’t disappoint. We had a perfect view for the fireworks celebrating the summer festival. We are grateful.Read more
