Chill & Grill boat trip

Hey everyone,


This is our final full day in Croatia as we travelled back to the UK the day after this trip. We spent the day on a boat trip called ‘Chill & Grill’ which is a relaxing trip with a meal provided hence the grill.


When the boat set off from Rabac we were offered brandy or snaps. Everyone of the family tried the snaps but no one liked it! I had to have lots of water afterwards to wash away the taste.










The first stop on this trip was the blue caves which my sister really wanted to visit this holiday. The boat stopped near to the caves so you could either jump off the boat or use the steps into the water to swim to the caves. Everyone in my family used the stairs excluding my mum who decided not to go due to not liking to swim where she cannot stand. Once off the boat we swam to the entrance of the caves and continued swimming until we reached another arch that was the entrance to the cave which was where it got shallow so everyone could stand. Although this lead to a few banged knees and toes. While in the cave we stood up as the water was freezing so that only half our body was in the cold water. I enjoyed swimming into the caves and looking at how part of the water would light up in a turquoise/light blue colour as well as the stalactites found on the cave walls. However, I didn’t like how we had to wait for everyone from the boat to swim in before we could leave or when the torch would be switched off so it was pitch black which was horrible.

 

The next stop on our trip was Cres which is a quaint little town. However, before arriving there Nicola and I played many games of hangman as my phone battery died just before the caves. Cres was a nice little town where we were able to explore and get a gift for grandma who was taking care of our dog, Lily.








Our final stop was an exclusive beach where we were able to swim in the sea for about an hour. My sister and I spent some time searching for fishes under the water and were able to find some.



Once back on the boat we travelled back to Rabac and on the way we were able to see some Dolphins. I saw them jumping out of the water bur was unable to capture this on camera. However, I did get some photographs and it was quick fun to not only see dolphins but also rocking the boat as almost everyone travelled to one side of the boat. Don't worry we didn't capsize.
