12th July-
Woke up as the boat was leaving the port this morning. We sailed back past Korcula as we were enjoying breakfast. Spent some time out on deck just Taking it all in.... The sea is so calm and clear and mainland to the right with it's mountains that rise straight of the ocean and the islands to the left with there pockets of beach and houses dotted along the coastline. Spent some time reading and relaxing before calling home. It was great to talk mum and dad. Felt like ages since I talked to them. Another three course lunch on the boat. Sailed for just over an hour into Makarska. A port in the mainland. Watched to the beach and organized to go parasailing. We are going up in groups of two. The first part went up and we all looked at each other thinking they are high up. Then it was our turn to put the harness on and get clipped into the frame. We launched off the back of the boat and rose up in the close to 400m. It felt really high up but the biggest surprise was how still and quiet it was up there. Was able to talk and hear with no trouble. An there was no wind or breeze. At first just hung on for life and was completely frozen in the one position as I got used to almost just floating in the air... Had amazing views out over the beach and coastline. The boat had become a tiny dot in the vast ocean around us. After 10 or so min we started the decend. It was big strange feeling at times with you stomach felt like it was left up in the clouds above. Landed safely back on the boat. Heart was pumping and legs felt a little wobbly. Then watch the last pair go up and they got dunked in the water on the way back down. On the boat trip back to shore the driver decided that he was a speed boat trick driver. Was heaps of fun flying around the ocean and having the water spray up on us as the boat tipped from side to side. Back on shore heart was racing and adrenaline was flowing. It was so much fun. Then had to walk back to the boat via the market to buy a new beach towel. The market next to the ocean here is great.
Had a dinner out at a local restaurant and then a quick final walk back through the market and picked up a dress for tonight's party... Sailor themed. Enjoyed a nap and happy before making our way into town... Ended up at the deep club also know as the rave in a cave. This place is literally a cave in the cliffs at the end of the beach. Was fun and spent the night talking a couple of locals about life till the sun was just breaking through the night sky.

Anita Hi Sarah, the coastline of Croatia looks beautiful, lucky you being warm, looks like your hair is lightening from all the sun you are getting - did you eat fish with eyes still in? Sounds like you are doing lots of partying - enjoy!
