We rented a kayak for the day and the
owner/taxi driver picked us up and dropped us the neighboring inlet which is
several kilometers long. Many sailboats tied up in the inlet as it is a
protected anchorage.
The
trip was 10.3 km round trip - we paddled for a little over 2 hours each way. At
the turn around point there was a Telascica Nature Park facility and a trail to
Jezero Mir – a salt water lake carved out during the last ice age. The lake has
higher salt content than the sea and unique life forms that have adapted to the
salinity and sulfur content of the water. Little hermit crabs were fun to watch
as were the brine shrimp.
By the time we returned to our starting
point Russ was tired of paddling! Fortunately there was not much wind during
the excursion so it wasn’t all that difficult. The temperature was high enough
so that even wet pants legs and shoes didn’t feel cold.
