    • Day 55 - Sipan, Croatia

      September 2, 2023 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Today we woke up on our boat Romantica, this was just before 7am and before the boat had turned the engine on to get us moving away from Port Gruz in Dubrovnik. Breakfast was for 8:00am but coffee is served from 7:30am, so we went up and grabbed some coffee.

      After breakfast we were told the plan for today, there was meant to be two rides today, but with incoming potential winds, one had to be cut off the itinerary… Happy Katie there! So the boat sailed onto the Island we would be riding our bikes at today, Sipan.

      Once at Sipan the crew off loaded the bikes, we got our bags ready and then the guides gave us a demo of the bikes. We set off along the port and soon climbed a short hill, this is where I first regretted all the gelato I have been consuming!

      We rode to the other side of the island to the other port town called Sudard. We walked around for half n hour and admired the village. Back on the bikes for the same way we travelled (not about of other options) instead of heading to the boat, we stopped at a picturesque spot for a group photo, after this we were told we were riding down to a beach!

      We rode down to Prijezba Beach which has a bar on it! We were soon in the colder water than what we were privy too in Malta & Italy! The guides ended up bringing some Gin & Tonics… now this is how I like my tours! After an hour & a half, we made the short ride back around the port to the boat. The crew loaded the bikes on & we went and showered, soon after lunch was served in the saloon.

      We cruised up to what is to be our docking point for the evening, on the Island of Mlijet in the port town called Pomona. Mlijet is famous for the national park on the island, we are riding through this tomorrow.

      We had free time once docked & Katie and I went for a walk, Katie was keen for a coffee. We found a nice ocean view bar, Katie got her coffee and I got a beer, seeing we had a good view, a couple of glasses of Rose were ordered as well!

      Dinner was on the boat, the captain joined the dinner so we were told dress to impress for the Captains Dinner. Again dinner was 3 course feast and you weren’t left hungry, after dinner they gave us some rum for the captain joining us!

      Katie and I went for a short walk along the pier after all this, seeing & hearing another boat which is more a party boat, living their best lives and some very dodgy singing on the mic.

      A Bosnian Road Trip

      June 29, 2016 in Croatia ⋅ 🌙 73 °F

      Another reminder about travel in eastern Europe: Don't plan on using public transportation if you want to get anywhere in a timely manner. While having coffee & cokes with our new housemate, Frances (an American living in Paris), we discovered that the bus from Mostar to Dubrovnik takes 4hrs+ but a private driver only takes 2 AND the price for the driver is a mere $5 more. A no brainer! Our driver Selma, actually owns a car rental company in Mostar and was the sister of the very nice gentleman in the tourism office. He introduced us and wham, bam we got a driver. She picked us up in the morning and off we went. First stop was Kravice Falls in southern Bosnia. Talk about stunning! We stopped long enough to have a quick brunch before we continued on our way. As we waited in line at the border crossings into Croatia, we chatted about everything from Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory to Donald Trump to 'What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas'. We reached the gorgeous city of Dubrovnik and caught the ferry to the island of Sipan where we are staying for the night. The ferry ride was so fun watching the islands go by. We love the view from our room on Sipan! A quick respite then a short walk to a restaurant up (literally) the road from our room & watched the sunset with yet another set of of new friends from Florida. Tomorrow: a drive up the Adriatic coast into Montenegro.Read more
