dubrovnik
21 August 2022
After spending the night on the town pier at Srebreno the captain felt confident leaving Phantomas there for the day while we went to see the old city of Dubrovnik.
We were able to catch a ferry from Srebreno directly to the Old City and left at 9.30. Those amongst us that are "Game of Thrones" fans (basically Ben & Sarah) were looking forward to spotting all the landmarks that are used in the series. The rest of us just enjoyed the theatre of it all.
It was heaving with tourists which is something we have tried to avoid but this time it was inevitable as this is such a popular place and with good reason.
We spent all day there wandering along the main avenue and ducking down side streets and walking up the steep streets. We caught the cable car to the top of the hill to get a birds eye view of the town and it did not disappoint. We also did the walk around the citys walls which afforded too many outstanding views to photograph.
As our walk around the walls got to its end there was a waterpolo semifinal being played and there was much commotion and noise and huge amounts of smoke flares being let off. From our vantage point on the walls above we were able to take it all in.
Our day ended with a drink at a bar of the ocean side of the cities walls perched on cliffs above the sea. It was a great end to a full on day.
