Elaphites Islands, Croatia

On a 5 horsepower rental boat, we explored some beautiful islands off the Dalmatian coast near Dubrovnik. The "blue cave" was extraordinary. Truly magnificent. Judah led the way, dipping under a rock shelf just a couple inches from the waterline. We entered the empty cave and saw the glorious turquoise water lit up from the exterior sunshine.

We found cliffs for jumping, a crowded sandy beach, and some cute fish when snorkeling.

Mathai really enjoyed driving the boat.Les mer
