Day Four: Morning in Mljet

7:30am breakfast: toast, croissants, meats, cheeses, bacon, eggs…quite a nice spread.

8:45am we walk into the national park where we rent bikes for a 4 miles bike ride around the lake. It’s flat! I managed just fine, mom!

It was actually quite lovely. The park was peaceful, lots of forest, and a huge turquoise lake in the center. About halfway through the bike ride, we stopped at a bridge and jumped in to the water. The current was strong but turns out I’m actually a decent swimmer! Floated there for a while, then sat in the sun and dried off as much as possible before putting my dry clothes over my wet bathing suit.

Biked back with absolutely gorgeous views and hiked back to the boat. The two ladies i was with are clearly in much better shape than me and were quite a bit ahead of me as I huffed and puffed up the stairs. I blame my shoes, they were wearing sneakers and me croc jelly sandals were slippery. :)

12:30 back on the boat for lunch. We had Sweet Potato and Pumpkin soup, chicken with potatoes, and Pana cotta. The food on the boat has been good/very good. But overall nothing has been wow.
