Uvala Prapratna

Today we got up and headed for the ferry to Mljet island! We took the noon ferry which was pretty nice - the upper deck has chairs and was open so lots of breeze and the views were great! We were able to check into our place as soon as we got here which was great - a place with another great view (the photo with the roofs in)! But a billion stairs to climb to get to it…it was a lot with the luggage (and when tired after hiking)! Then we headed off for a hike of the highest mt on the island which was so hot! There was sometimes a breeze, but I was a sweaty monster (Raymond thought it wasn’t too bad, but it was a lot!). The views on top were great though!! And we saw a fancy spider, some giant goats, and lots of weird bugs on the way up! Afterwards we headed to Odysseus Cave, which you can only get inside by swimming and it was way too cold for that in the wind there so it wasn’t very exciting (maybe earlier in the day when the sun is shining on it would be better from above). We did see some pine Martens on the road though! That is the awful car photo - if you zoom in you can see them! It was very exciting. A new to me animal and the National animal of Croatia! After dinner we went in search of a nice sunset spot since we are on the sunrise side of the island. I had found a beach called sunset beach so we drove over there, but maybe because of the time of year the sun was too north and the beach too inland that it was already in shade when we got there, but just up the road was the perfect spot! Tomorrow we explore more of the islandEn savoir plus
