Wednesday 2nd July
We saw a little bit of the city last night wandering around trying to find accommodation. It looked stunning so couldn't wait to explore especially when I found out this was where they filmed Game of Thrones.
It was a clear day so the smooth marble streets eliminated white in on the main street. We headed for the Upper Wall tour. This took us around the whole of old Dubrovnik. The Whole circuit must have been a fair few Km around. It gave great panoramic views of the whole town as you can see from our photos. We tried to listen in on the Game of Thrones tour to get some interesting facts. We managed to get one or two before we were made. After the Tour of the walls we wandered around the narrow streets. It was like a maze. Every now and then we would stubble across an opening of some sort that presented a plaza with quirky restaurants or an old church.
In this heat we needed an Ice Cream, They have so many different flavours here and they are all soo good. Excited by the possibilities we ordered a bit more than we should have and ended walking around the town a little bloated and feeling sick.
We wandered around the outside of the old town fortress. People sat along the harbor and around the back of the fort looking out to sea were a collection of boulders where people were sun bathing and swimming. Succumbed to the heat we decided to venture back to the room for our swimming gear.
We heard of a cool bar that opens up through one of the small fort wall doors at the back of the fort that steps down to some boulders and cliffs. A perfect place to sun bath and swim. It was busier than we wanted, but still good fun. All the guys where cliff jumping. Stevie and I jumped off the boulders. I tried to build up the confidence to make a cliff jump, but couldn't build up the balls. I even made it to the top. Lol, Its not the height that I was worried about, but no knowing what was under the water. Like how deep was it. Knowing my luck I would break my legs on some random underwater boulder. We spent pretty much most of the day chilling here. It was ok as we managed to see all the sites.
That evening we got dressed up and headed out for a nice meal and drinks. I took the plunge and went for a huge seafood platter. I managed to finish it, but told Stevie that would made me ill in the morning.
We finished the evening getting drunk on large glasses of wine in one of the small bars down a narrow side street.
Thursday 3rd July
My Instincts last night were correct. I was up early heading for the toilet, which was where I spent most of my day. Stevie, bless her stayed in with me. Heading out every now and then for medication, food and water.
I managed a little walk that evening and headed out to watch Stevie eat dinner as she didn't want to dine alone.
