Dubrovnik

---

We have three days in Dubrovnik, and have decided to do a few things other than watch the yachts come and go (the Sheik's boat left this afternoon, and after that, the other yachts look pretty small). So our plan is roughly: day 1 in the old town (complete), day 2 relaxing atthe beach nearby and riding the gondola to the lookout at the top of the hill, and day 3 on a boat tour visiting three nearby islands.



It was a warm and humid day today, but we were able to cover as much of he old town as we needed to. We started out at 11am, and returned to the apartment just after 6pm. That included the one-hour walk around the old town walls, so we're a pretty tired bunch.



Dubrovnik is a fantastic place to see and walk around. The wall and forts surrounding the old town make you feel like you're walking into a huge castle. The streets and buildings inside are similar to Split and Zadar, but there are WAY more restaurants. Dubrovnik gets a lot of cruise ships stopping by during the day so the old town can be very busy in summer. Fortunately, we found the crowds more than manageable.

The gate into old town
This is about a 20 minute walk from our apartment.

In old town, Dubrovnik
As you wander through town, these little plazas show up.

Until you see this it's easy to forget that this is still a residential neighborhood. On the other side of the wall is a 150 foot drop straight into the sea.
