I began the day with a cruisey 7am swim before the boat sailed off to our first proper swim stop of the day. Apart from crystal clear water and amazing shoreline, the highlight of this swim stop was a washing machine sunk about 4 meters down (PICTURE). Getting down there required some effort, but the small ecosystem inhabiting the washing machine made it worthwhile.
After a couple of hours there, we headed off to our next port of call, Korcula.
The birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer, Korcula is a unique town due of its shape and layout. The old town juts out from the island in the oval shape of a fish, with the streets inside it forming the skeleton. What’s interesting about this is that the ocean breeze is channeled along the streets due to their shape, providing cooling throughout the town even in the hottest of weather.
That evening we had cocktails on the roof of an old turret before heading into town to a club. Sometime throughout the night all the players involved in the aforementioned game got tattooed with said word somewhere on their body…needless to say, many were caught out that night.
