Lokrum Island

Dober Dan,

I must show you photos of where I went swimming today! The island just offshore from Dubrovnik, Lokrum, (it's behind the cruise ship in the last post), one of the most lovely swims I've ever had! It is a nature preserve and as it was relatively cool today, I had a good walk around and got some, hopefully, great photos overlooking Dubrovnik from the old fort ruins on the high point.

By then it was hot and I was ready for a swim. Because it had been raining, I think, there was hardly anyone at the beach and it was absolutely, as I said, lovely. You can't see them, but there are ladders going down into the water from the rocks, so it's easy to get in and out. The water is quite cool and feels wonderful in the heat and the whole beach was shaded by the forest! Lovely! I stayed until the last ferry return at 7:30.

Now, I'm off for dinner at the restaurant of the hotel where I'm staying. The wait staff is familiar of me and this afternoon, the waiter said that if I didn't stop in for food the next time I wandered by, they'd put me to work doing dishes ; 0 I get a 10% discount, so I figure I'd better or they won't let me leave in a few days.
So, till next time, Steph
