We got on the boat at the wharf in Zaton, just a 100m in front of our apt, to join 14 others on the small cruiser. A couple of crew would look after us for the day, serving drinks as needed and a fish lunch.
So off we headed, on a glorious morning, to our first port of call on the island of Lopud. It took around an hour of motoring, before we reached the harbour there, and then we had about 3 hours to ourselves on the island. So, a quick walk along the front, a walk through some rather disappointing botanical gardens, then a coffee break. Impressive coffee too:
Then we took a 'golf cart' taxi to the beach on the other side of the island & had an hour or so toasting. Back to the boat for lunch:
Then it was a half hour trip to the island if Sipan. A quick swim across the harbour, then a beer.
Next it was the start of the return leg, but with a stop for an hour at the island of Kolocep, where we both had a swim & an ice cream. Got back to the boat to find that the engine had failed, so a further half hour in the warm afternoon sunshine & a couple of glasses of wine seemed the right thing to do.
The replacement boat was a large rib. The run back was fast and fun as we all got a soaking in the wind blown spray.
What a great day out!
