During our Croatia trip we decided to spend 3 nights on the island of Mljet. Mljet is a beautiful, wooded, hilly island with a huge National Park at one end of it. There are two large saltwater lakes in the National Park that you can bike and walk around. On our first day on Mljet we rented bikes from in front of our hotel in the village of Pomena and biked around both lakes (almost). Below are lots of pictures of the scenery (and us) around the lakes.
Dad, resting on the neat rocks:
Dad really liked the rocks.
Our lunch view:
On our second day we chose to hike from Pomena to Polace, first walking along the lakes and then turning off through the woods and over the hill then down into Polace, which is another village on the ocean. The hike is 4 miles one way, max, which is plenty when it's hot and humid out.
The view coming down the hill into Polace:
The tiny village of Polace (lots of good seafood to be eaten here though!). It's a one-street town. The first picture below is of some Roman ruins.
Sunset from our hotel, the Odisej (it's the only hotel on Mljet, it's a little outdated but the service is amazing and you can't beat the views!).
Our hotel "pool". All hotels have a strip of coast and a roped-off area in the ocean for swimming. It's kind of nice.
Our private ferry ride back to mainland Croatia. Another gorgeous day! I could sit on boats and enjoy the views forever.
