Elifiti Islands

Last Thursday was a tour of the Elifiti Islands. We had booked this tour quite awhile ago after someone in the wedding party found it online for about $60. It was an all day tour, with stops at three islands, and included lunch and wine. So at 8:30am we were all amazingly waiting at the bus stop with our cruise vouchers, ready for adventure. Our ship was a replica of a 16th century galleon so it essentially looked like a pirate ship.

The islands we stopped at were all inhabited, and had cute little beaches. After the first two islands we had lunch on the boat (fresh fish, salad, bread, and wine) and then we stopped at the third island and had several hours to spend, which we spent mostly on the beach, frolicking and drinking. We also did some jumping off the side of the boat (I'll have to get those pictures and video from other people).

We then returned to the boat (slowly, to help our drunk friends) and rode back to port. Once home we cleaned up a bit, and then had another cookout, this time with the pre-ordered fresh fish and prawns. I didn’t get any pictures because I was helping with some of the appetizers, and otherwise enjoying myself. I contributed some cocktail ingredients with my 200 kuna that I’d found on the city wall the day before. We also all only paid 50 kuna (about $9) for the meal itself, and made sure to tip the chef (villa owner’s husband) a considerable amount, considering all the work he’d put in preparing meals for us this week, which was unnecessary but greatly appreciated.

favoritest pic so far! stolen from facebook, since i wasn't able to take one myself. We all jumped off the dock together. Some people are wearing water shoes because there were rocks and possibly sea urchins. (my ass is the second from the right)
