Crusing Croatia 2
Sunday – Mljet Island. After lunch we took a short hike to the inland lakes and a ferry boat ride to the abbey of St. Mary. For dinner we walked to Kanoba Ana along the quay.
Monday – Enroute. Our scheduled port for the afternoon was Hvar, but because of a possible storm, the Captain decided to dock in Stari Grad on the other side of Hvar Island. We took a bus to Hvar where we had a short walking tour followed by dinner.
