I went on a boat tour and the person driving the boat picked up a sea urchin and asked “does anyone want to hold it”? I said sure, so I held a sea urchin. That’s an accomplishment.
After that i went to Korčula and went to an aqua park which was really fun.
The next day we went to a beach and it was extremely hot but there was nice food.
After a disappointing lack of boats on the so-called “Lago” di Garda, we have finally taken to the sea in Dalmatia. Specifically, the Adriatic Sea. Here are our top 5 boats.
⭐
This is more of a necessity than anything else, given that it is way too far to swim and we don’t own a helicopter. But at least it’s a boat!
⭐⭐
Slightly more luxurious than the last ferry, but nothing really to write home about. Had a coffee, it wasn’t great.
⭐⭐⭐
Our journey around the Lago di Garda frequently featured the thrill of finding a pedalo place for rent, followed by the immediate disappointment of realising that the pedalo guy hadn’t bothered coming to work that day.
But not in Split! We found the pedalo guy, arrived promptly at opening time, and… he wasn’t there. But then we WhatsApped him, and an hour later he bowled up!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
We booked a spot on a 12 person tour out to Vis. For more information you can check out Jake’s post.

The best day of all, courtesy of David. We picked up our 20HP tinny at 8:30 and headed out to Paklinski, map in hand.

After checking out a few different bays, we tied our boat up at a convenient berth and headed overland.
Plenty of Cacti on Sveti Klement (but no parrots)

After a quick wine sample and a cleansing beer, we headed back to the mainland via the spectacularly overpriced Carpe Diem bar. Top tip: you can just bring your own €1 supermarket beer and swim in the same bay with the same view as if you paid €20 for a watery cocktail.
Cheers!
Our final stop of the day was a late lunch back on the mainland at the secluded Robinson Bay. A pricey but delicious seafood gnocchi, seafood salad and a plate of olives was perfectly complemented with a glass or two of the local white wine.
All in all, a successful day of boating.
Well, you can’t win them all.
We pause our regular programming to bring you a special interview segment.
Today we went on a boat tour across some islands in Croatia.
First we went to the blue lagoon (Budikovac) for a dip and it was beautiful, then we went to Stiniva where you had to swim to the beach! This beach was voted most beautiful beach in Europe in 2016. It was where a part of Mamma Mia was filmed.
Soon after that we arrived at the Green Cave where there was a hole in the ceiling and there was a ray of light poking in and it would usually cost 12 Euros per person but they weren’t there. We had to skip the blue cave because of rough tides.
After that we went to Vis town where we had lunch and I got a piping hot lasagne.
Then we went to find a geocache which was successful. By the time all that was done we arrived back at the boat with minutes to spare.
Then we went to a military submarine tunnel… it wasn’t deep enough to fit a submarine and it was rarely used. Boatman taught us some stuff about WW2 and about Yugoslavia.
Then we went to our final destination - Milini - which is in an archipelago of 16 to 20 islands depending on the tide.
Sadly all good thing must come to an end and that’s how it felt saying goodbye to boatman.
It lives across Europe but it is Croatia’s national animal.
The Kuna Zlatica lives on the national parks on the mainland and it also lives on Brač (the island) in the forests.
⬆️ that is where the kuna zlatica lives
It likes to hang out in trees.
It is an omnivore that means it eats meat and plants. It hunts its food with its claws. Its claws are as sharp as diamond swords!

If I had to eat one thing from this menu it would be insects because I have had some in Thailand before and it tasted good.
It was quite endangered but now it is least concern. Because people used to hunt them to get their fur but now it is against the law.
