Miljet Island, Veliko Jezero Lake and a Visit to the Benedictine Monastery

 Visit to Miljet, Veliko Jezero Lake and the Benedictine Monastery on St. Mary's Island

The next morning, we woke up to beautiful sunshine and spent a few hours swimming, Stand-Up-Paddling and relaxing in the beautiful bay off of the island of Miljet. After breakfast we took the speedboat onto the island of Miljet to the town of Polace, where we had rented bikes to ride around a small lake on the island. This was really a highlight as the weather was perfect and the island is just gorgeous.

We took a short boat ride on the tender to the town of Polace on the shore of Miljet. The plan for our bike ride was to ride all the way around Veliko Jezero Lake, which was only about 8 miles. After our ride, we took the ferry to St. Mary's Island to visit The Church and Benedictine Monsastery. The ferry ride was short and beautiful. It turns out that the Monastery is one of the oldest church complexes in the Adriatic. The owner of the bike rental company was really a character -- his name was Peyro and he spoke perfect English and was very service-oriented with a great sense of humor.

We spent some time walking around the old monastery.

After we took the ferry back from St. Mary's Island, we got a ride in a shuttle back to Polace where we met up with our boat crew to take us back to the boat, Sunliner X.
