Sun and Sea

We are staying in a tourist complex with a swimming pool, beach access, a grocery store and a play area. We started the day by having a dip in the pool, which overlooks the Adriatic Sea. It seems like they have filled the pool with sea water because it is quite salty.

We got a chance to meet some of the Baha’is in the afternoon. Tahereh and Ahmad, a sister and brother, came to the complex to use the beach and we had a nice chat. Their family came to Croatia from Italy some years ago and settled here. They are on their way to Haifa in a few days for pilgrimage.


The beach front is rocky, with little pools and inlets for swimming. You can dive right off the rocks into the deep water. Yasmin and Roya even found a little pool just big enough for their dolls to have a supervised swim.

We ended the day with another swim in the pool, which had warmed up quite a bit since this morning.
