On Goli Otok island

Today we visited Goli Otok Island which was used from 1949 - 1956 for political prisoners and then as an ordinary prison until 1989. Conditions there were very harsh .. 1600 inmates were there and between 400 and 600 died.

The buildings were abandoned until a few years ago but tourists visit. Although the buildings have deteriorated they were so well built originally that you can go inside some of them. One of the extras is the view from an abandoned cell.
The island has lots of nice vegetation including lots of big cacti with yellow flowers. See some of the extras.

Later sailed to another island Kirk and  we went for a wine tasting nearby.
