Day 7 - Saturday 15 July - Ploce

This morning we woke up in Ploce, which is a commercial port located in central Dalmatia and the Croatians have not prettied this up for tourists yet. Today is a good day to do an excursion and there are two on offer; an optional tour to the famous old city of Mostar in Bosnia Herzegovina and Medjugorje, which is like a Croatian Lourdes. The other tour went off to the beach and I took advantage of this excursion, as it was good to have a restful morning with a book, looking out across the beautiful Mediterranean with Fir trees to shade when the sun got too warm. This evening we enjoyed the sumptuous food of the Captain’s dinner, followed by entertainment from the Fortuna Band and the New Generation dance group dancing to the theme of the Moulin Rouge with lots of ruffles and feathers.
