After docking in Makarska and leaving the crew to fill up the ships tanks (well over 1000 litres of petrol…), we headed to the local soccer pitch to play off against the another Busabout ship that was in at the same time.
Next up was one of Makarska’s attractions…cliff jumping. Various heights were available, ranging all the way up to 17m if one was daring enough to take a running jump off the security wall. Beyond that, the 15m jump was a fairly comfortable drop straight down, so cliff jumping we went. Lots of fun, check out the VIDEO of yours truly. Unfortunately the video from the one and only 17m jump (noone else was stupid enough to do it) wasn’t taken (damn you Steve, damn you), but the video gives a good enough indication.
That evening we had been booked into a quality traditional Croatian restaurant for a solid meal, and although pricey by Croatian standards it was well worth it. One seafood lasagna and 5 complimentary drinks later (for some reason a power outage meant free drinks, but whos complaining?), we headed off to a Makarska’s next famous attractions – a club in a cave.
Not just any cave though, it used to be an ammo dump during the war. Kind of difficult to the explain the evening in words, recommend checking out the pictures on facebook. Nevertheless, 7am the next day I stumbled back to the boat with some of the girls from the boat, passed out briefly on the deck, then woke up at 8 and kept drinking! Big, big night.
