Dubrovnik and Good bye Croatia

Dubrovnik and Good Bye Croatia

We headed to Dubrovnik on a boat with Paula and Ward. We only had two more nights with them, while we would be staying for two more. After the fact we should have listened to Paula and only stayed for two, three at the most. The best part was being there with Paula and Ward and having some last meals and walks together. The old town where we stayed is very crowded with thousands of people from cruise ships coming through every day on top of the people staying there and in the surrounding area. But lets focus on the good parts.

It is beautiful and thats why people are flocking there. Add in the Game of Thrones and Star Wars being filmed there and, bam, even more tourists. The town is in a compact area with steep steps going up to the neighborhoods, where we stayed, on one side. The other side has a few less steps, but not much. This is not a place for the mobility impaired or out of shape.

We had a great last night dinner with Paula and Ward at Bosnia restaurant. One of this best parts, which we went back and had again, was cold yogurt soup with mint and fresh amazing bread.

After they left, which was so sad for us because traveling with them is super fun, we went to a ocean side town, Cavtat, about 30 minutes away. It was one of our favorite things about Dubrovnik and where we would stay if we come back this way.

Our last day we did a bunch of touristy things. We walked the walls.

We visited museums and old palaces and we said good bye to Croatia.

The photo below is an sample of how Dave and I differ. His preparing to leave early the next morning vs mine. And he is the best travel partner ever! ( as you will see soon in Montenegro)

So we said good bye to Croatia and boarded the bus for Montenegro. Doesn’t that country name just sounds romantic and exotic? What do you know about Montenegro? I knew nothing but that was soon to change.
