    Peljesac Peninsula, Croatia

    August 5, 2019 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    In the morning, we arrived to find a different bus and bus driver. Samir had to stay with his bus for the day, while it was fixed.
    We departed at 8.30 for a long drive beside the Adriatic Sea. Our refreshment stop was at a beautiful coffee shop, overlooking a small beach.
    We observed many mussel and oyster farms as we travelled to the famous wine growing region of Dingac on the Pelijesac Peninsular of Croatia. Our destination was the Matusko Winery. As the vines face the sea, they get the benefit of triple reflection – sun, rocks and water. At times, grape pickers have ropes around them, as the slope the grapes are growing on, is so steep. Wine tasting... Again.

    We left the winery and made our way to Stone, where we boarded a boat to ride out to a pontoon, where we were given an explanation on how to open oysters and how they are grown.
    Get home and Maree decides to go to the gym because getting fat. Then both of us go for swim, have a light tea then another swim.
