BLUE CAVE CROATIA

Not only is the Blue Cave one of the unique natural phenomena in the world, but this bright and beryl attraction on Bisevo island is destined to be the highlight of your Croatian holiday. The magnificent work of Mother Nature, this cerulean oasis is so unique because it is formed due to seawater eroding limestone, a rock Biševo island is wholly composed of. Thanks to the sunlight’s reflection off of the white seabed, which creeps through the opening of a vault at the top of the cave, a mesmerizing blue hue fills its capacity. The Blue Cave only recently opened to the public and has proved its worth as a Croatian hotspot in a short time.

Apparently, the young “Aussies” in the boat docked next to ours kept a number of our shipmates awake in the night. I slept so soundly! Even Frank, the early early riser slept. I was shocked to wake up and see it was already 8 a.m. and our boat had been moving for an hour already to our next destination! It’s such joy to emerge from our tiny cabin berth to see the sea with early morning eyes still groggy from sleep. Within an hour, we had breakfasted and I jumped into the sea. A few of us swam a short way to our first destination, a lovely beach in a stone cove. This is where Po and I created a new form of Croatian meditation we call “Roxation” or some such thing, I saw Po lying in the sun on the fine small white round stones that line these beaches instead of sand and she had placed one or two on her chest. I lay down next to her, and soon we both were placing hot stones all over our chakras, eyes, forehead, chests, bellies. The sun heated us from above and we deeply, deeply relaxed on our bed of stones until we felt we were floating on them! After twenty minutes or so, I had the idea for us to turn over, and we repeated with others helping to line our backs and calves and feet with stones. It was splendid and fun. Then, a swim back to the boat, and on to visit the Blue Cave. We all left the dock in small boats, a short ride to the blue cave, we duck down very low and then we are inside the blue cave. It’s a short stay; there are many tourists and there are four small boats in the cave at a time. I would love to be with a few friends in kayaks to see this special place without all the boats. We go back to our boat for lunch, and then we have the late afternoon and early evening in the charming village and the stone beach in front of the church. Another long swim and a bake on the stones. Organ music comes from the interior of the church. We all seem to love this small village the most, few tourists and no big cruise ships. We all dine together in a lovely outdoor restaurant under the 3/4 bright moon shining on the sea next to us. We have begun to think about departure. One more whole day on the boat. We have made such lovely friendships with people from far and wide. Gelato, a last stop on the meandering back to the boat from dinner. Frank convinces the gelato server to let me have two scoops of different flavors (peanut butter and hazelnut) even though it’s against the rules. I love this about Frank, his desire to see everyone get what they really want, and his willingness to cheerfully make this happen. Tonight, as I often happens, I am the beneficiary. And it’s going to be hard to leave this special life. But I have some heart strings pulling me home when the time comes soon.
