Croatia day 4 was much more successful than day 3. We arrived on the island of Mljet early and spent the whole day exploring the island and its national park. It had 2 inland saltwater lakes that were warm and beautiful. Catherine and Sas swam the length of the small one, while i hiked around to meet them and quickly jump in myself. After this first trek in the morning we went back to the boat for lunch. post lunch I tagged along with Dion (one of the Aussie clan) and we rented scooters and went exploring. we went to the cave o Ulysses. this hike off the side of the road was down a rock face in the heat of the day. It was a very neat sight but the wrong time of day to pay a visit. We quickly snapped photos and clamored back up the hillside in the painful heat. we arrived at our scooters drenched nad couldnt get them started fast enough. Once on the road again we let out some whoops of joy for the cool breeze on the bikes. We made our way back to port and returned the scooters and thre ourselves in the water.
Sas and Catherine spent the afternoon paddling a canoe on the big lake in the national park. They visited an island monastery and watched as uncle John and Natatsha haplessly paddled in circles...quite a scene I am told.
We all returned to the boat after dinner and a number of us started playing card games. We learned shithead from the Aussies and enjoyed ourselves that the boat next to us complained. Funnily they were an older grumpier group (actually just a couple of sour Krauts!) Anway the pary moved to the seaside bar and I tried sleeping top deck.
