Today we took our stand-up paddleboard and paddled around one kilometer from Bjelila to the small magical Island Gospa od Milosrda We started our paddling tour in the marina of the small fishing village Bjelila. This is a screenshot from a drone video I shoot last spring when I flew over the island. The Island *Gospa od Milo (which means Our Lady of Mercy) has a fascinating history reaching back thousands of years. "...it is known that the island Our Lady of Mercy has been a place of great religious ceremonies of different nationalities for thousands of years. For example, carved stone altars are found here, dedicated to the wife of Jupiter - the beautiful Juno Lucina, that were left behind by the ancient Romans, greeting their gods here."* You can find this and more interesting information about this place --> here. When approaching the island we have been greeted by two barking dogs which soon turned out to be very friendly. The coastal town on the other side of the bay is Herceg Nov
