Mljet National Park, Croatia





Most of Mljet Island is a national park. We anchored in a small bay, took the dinghy ashore, then went by shuttle to a small landing. From there it was a short boat ride to an island in a lake, the main landmarks being an abandoned Benedictine monastery, church and small chapel atop a hill. The chapel had a window ledge filled with small photos, bracelets and trinkets left as prayer petitions, much as you see in Mexico. The photo of Carol and Phil is at a cemetery on the hillside overlooking the small lake.
