In the morning went ashore and hired bikes for a ride to Polace to the inlet lake, Veliko Jezero, did a circumnavigation, had a coffee, then on around the lake to the Benedictine Monastery of St Mary dating back to the 12th century. Access is by flagging a staff member at the restaurant on the small island in the lake on which the monastery is located who comes over in a small boat. After lunch returned to our bikes and then back to Polace then dinghy back to Westralia for a swim.

 

Departed for Pomena on the NW of Miljet.
