Wednesday - Today Sports afternoon
Posted on Wednesday, May 15 at 7:30
The majority of us are going for rafting, down the bouncy rapids, lurking in the amazing Cetina river canyon, others are hiking or visiting the town, as the following choices:
After the activities, we are all meeting for a delicious traditional "peka" dinner at the Kaštil Slanica - Restaurant - Omiš (location map here).
Transport
The bus leaves MEDILS at 13:45.
Weather
Forecast sunny with some cloud and possibly a localised shower, up to 15'C. Evening will be cooler, especially next to the river where we eat.
You will need to bring:
For rafting - footwear that you don't mind getting wet (you will get wet), light clothes (eg. shorts, t-shirt ... which will get wet), and a lightweight windproof cagoule/k-way if you have one (....which will get wet). If it's not obvious by now, you are going to get soaking wet.
After, for the evening/dinner - a towel, warm dry clothing and another pair of shoes to get changed for the evening.
For hiking - appropriate shoes for walk.
Bring your suncream and mosquito spray, if you have one, it may be helpful.
Dinner
Dinner is at the Kaštil Slanica at 18:30. We eat indoor, but it may be cool as it is next to the river, so bring a pullover to keep warm.
People staying in Omis or hiking
For those who are visiting Omis instead of rafting, you will travel on the bus with everyone and be dropped off in Omis. The bus will pick you up later to bring you to Kaštil Slanica.
Be ready to leave Omis at 18h15 (pick-up point here)
