Sailing trip through Croatia – The next day
This was not on the first itinerary but was a modest touristy town where I tried some arty photography.
Ston is famous because of its salt pans creating a lot of salt in the initial processes and we were given a talk afterward we climbed part of the “Great wall of Europe”.
Seemingly this is the longest such wall in Europe considerably smaller than its counterpart in boat rent Croatia. We wanted a drink in town afterwards. The coach took us to a wine and liqueur tasting. Most were not impressed with the wines and I didn’t try some of the extensive range of very sweet liqueurs, not to my taste. For which the place is, in addition, famous, afterward it was on to an oyster tasting.
They were not rather bad although I am told they were not up to Bluff oyster standards but where we’d to give the yacht we chartered back on Sunday we sailed across the largest seas of our journey back to Split. Again we had a town tour, and so I learnt a week earlier although I ‘d drifted in the town by myself. Probably the worst of the long history in the town was in the siege from October 1991 to May 1992. Thankfully most has been restored.
It was time for a closing dinner and sleep aboard before travelling to the airport on Monday for the day flight to Rome. 15 went to the airport and 7 were on the Rome flight.
