there were a lot of sights to see the next day. we started in Ston where were took a shoot of the town and salt flats.

now, as you probably know, I go to Bonneville Speed Week every August at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah……this salts flats is nothing like our salt flats. i thought it looked a bit like a rice field….square sections of field where they harvest salt. also, fact of the day, the best part of the salt is the very top layer called, “the flower of salt”.

after the salt flats we took off to go to Brac island by ferry, where we visited Vidova Gora Mountain and saw Blaca Monastery.

the Blaca Monastery is pretty cool, it’s build into the base of a hillside. it’s no longer functioning, but they do keep up the building.

we then drove to Supetar and looked around town, and then took a ferry to Split where we spent the night.

i stayed at the Heritage Hotel Saint Lucia, which was really nice, although it felt a bit “fancy” for my taste. i was upgraded, so i’m not sure what the basic room would have been, but my room was really pretty……white with touches of aquamarine and marble in the bathroom. they had a nice breakfast included in the price, i had dinner there as well which was a little on the pricey side, but very good. they also had a rooftop patio, which i think they have a bar in busy season, but nothing while i was there except a view of the sunset.

oh right, Bosnia was in the title of this post………while making this drive, we passed through 12 miles of Bosnia.

when Yugoslavia broke up in 1991, Croatia became independent, but was split in two. 12 miles of Bosnia-Herzegovinian coastline separates the Dubrovnik region from the rest of Croatia to the north. 

yes, my passport now has a Bosnia stamp.
