Orebic

05 June 2013

We bravely had a before breakfast swim in the nearby beach which unusually for Croatia was sandy. The Adriatic waters turned out to be quite cool!

The morning was spent on a pleasant walk to a 15^th century Franciscan monastery set 152m above sea level and with beautiful views over to Korcula and Orebic.

It was then a drive through the vine covered mountains of the Peljesac Peninsula and along some more attractive coast to the southernmost point of this trip, Dubrovnik.

We read on the BBC website that many German and Austrian cities, towns and villages on the Danube and other rivers were flooded following heavy rain in central Europe. We had visited some of them and we wish them well. Several places had marks on their town hall walls showing historic flood levels. It seems that a further record will now be required.
