I found this post from Croatia in my drafts. It was never posted. So those of you that are following my Norway trip here’s a little extra bonus for you.

On the way to Mljet we saw lots of sailboats with their spinnakers out. It is such a beautiful sight. I must admit that a big part of me would rather be on a sailboat. The national park was made from two fresh water lakes. Because they were causing a big mosquito problem, they made a channel between the lakes and one out to the Adriatic. So now they are salt water lakes. There is an island in the middle of one with a monastery and some Roman ruins. The monastery has a Romanesque chapel. After the hike I dipped my feet in the sea. Wish I had brought my swimsuit because I would have gone swimming. The boat moved on to a smaller island closer to Dubrovnik where we spent the night. Just a trivia piece of info. Croatians are some of the tallest people in the world.
