Ston and Mali Ston
We spent our last night in Dalmatia in at the Hotel Ostrea in Mali Ston after returning from Miljet.
On Saturday morning we hiked over the fortified wall built in the 14th century on orders from the Republic of Dalmatia to defend against the Turks and the ???.
As we descended into Ston, we had an excellent view of the salt fields.

Back to Dubrovnik
We spent our last afternoon in Dubrovnik, running a few errands and taking in a few more sights.
We rode the team up the mountain above Old Town and visited the Homeland War Museum. The 1991-95 war against the invading Serbs is still very fresh in Croatian hearts and minds, and Croats are justifiably proud of the men and women who defended their homeland. The destruction in and around Dubrovnik was significant, especially in November and December 1992. Most of the war damage has been repaired.
We visited the Ethnographic Museum which houses exhibits of indigenous artifacts from the area.
After lunch at Sesame in Dubrovnik just outside the Old Town, Ursula and Ziva drove us along the coast to the airport. On the way we stopped in ??? at a Cafe, where among other things, Art and I made sandwiches for our flight to Zagreb later in the evening.
On the hour flight from Dubrovnik to Zagreb we saw a continuous sunset.

Kayaking on Miljet
On Friday, we reluctantly left Orebic for Pomena on the island of the Miljet National Park. After a short drive to Trstenil, we took a local boat which carries water to the island hotel to supplement the island sources for a relaxing trip to the island with beautiful views of the coast.
The park is beautiful with shaded paths for hiking and biking and two salt water lakes connected by a small channel. We kayaked on Veliko Jezeroe around the 12th century Benedictine monastery on the small island of Sv Marija and briefly through the channel to Malo Jezero.
Ursula prepared our last picnic with bread and avocado, cheese, grapes and slivered apple mixed with horseradish, which is traditionally served at Easter. It was delicious.
After the boat back to the mainland, we drive to Mali Ston for the last night of our trip with Freewheeling. Our hotel - Ostrea - is filled with antiques and paintings and is a nice contrast from the modern hotel in Orebic. We have a corner room with windows on two sides which provides a cooling breeze
After six days of being in the sun, we are both fully baked even after using lots of sunscreen.
