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.
