Good weather for a boat trip

It was a lovely day when we finally made it back to the Kornati NP and its many rocky islands and bays. Our boat trip included young people and old and it was a rush for the upper deck and out the front for the young things. Bit too sunny and breezy for me outside but the inside was just perfect with the side rolled up to get the feel of fresh air without the blow.





We stopped at one island for a walk and swim - nearly off the boat for one old guy who in the normal tourist crush got one leg down between quay and boat - didn't need my expert advise as the NP guys were there in a flash to whisk him and his nasty gash off to be fixed up.

The lovely salty lake was a swimmers heaven - as long as you liked rocks under foot and water too cold for me - got the swimmers on alright behind the trees as I am a bit more modest than the oldies who strip off right next to you leaving nowhere really to look but at the wrinkly bits. Graeme had an nice swim but even he got cold after a while and had to dry off in the sunshine.





We had a nice lunch on another island - meeting up with the cook and our fresh lunch where we had dropped him off two hours before. There was a hill which we of course had to climb and then more water which of course had to be swum.









Our now well fed crew climbed back on board for a merry boat ride back - imbibing the free home made wine and grappa kept many occupied, and Graeme and Brami drove the boat while the captain flirted with the help downstairs.

Back to the van and whoosh down the motorway at 140km and we were in Trogir, a small walled city on a peninsular with some now familiar sailing boats and very pretty narrow streets. Dinner out in the city and a small new apartment for sleep.




See you soon

Love Wendy and Graeme

  1. Glad you made the island trip, looks really beautiful and so does Trogir. Graeme is very brave to try the water, what a man! We are assuming this is your last day of this trip and you are enroute to Ljubliana to meet up with your friends and commence your next journey. Enjoy!!!! xoxo
