Old town & New


From Tucepi we drove further down the coast, crossing into Bosnia for about 20km along the way (no stamp in the passports sadly). We arrived in Dubrovnik in time for a quick explore of old town before cooking dinner in our apartment. The apartment was in a fantastic spot looking over old town and out to the many surrounding island.

On Sunday we spent a bit of time hiding from the rain but managed a trip to the beach when it cleared up. There's over 400 steps each way to the beach so by the time we made it back up to the apartment we were ready for another swim! Instead we settled for beers on the balcony.

Monday was a beautiful day. In the morning we did the walk around the old city walls. This was a lot of fun and we got some great photos of old town. Next stop was the beach for some much needed refreshment in the beautiful clear water. We returned to the old town for Mels walking tour before returning to the beach for another swim then picked up donuts for afternoon tea. That evening we drove up the hills surrounding dubrovnik to catch the sunset and had dinner in a restaurant overlooking town.

Tuesday was adventure day, we met our guide in the next towns ferry terminal before catching a ferry to the island of Lopud. We picked up kayaks here and kayaked to a nearby island with some excellent cliff jumping and an underground cave with an underwater entrance, slightly scary to swim into. Then we kayaked around the island to a tiny fishing village for lunch before paddling to our third island for the day, enjoying a quick dip off the rocks before returning to the start. Made for a huge day out.

Today the plan is to have donuts for breakfast before one last walk around old town. Then we set out for our last stop of the trip, Mlini.
