Thu May 30 Dubrovnik, Croatia

It was raining while we were eating breakfast but the forecast said it would clear so we waited for the rain to stop.

When it stopped, we headed off the ship and met a couple at the taxi stand who were looking for a couple to share a panorama tour of the city. It was a one hour tour and cost 50 euros (25 per couple) and it was excellent! We went to 3 different look-offs and saw some amazing views of the old town. 

The sun came out as we were touring and it turned into a beautiful day. At the end of the tour, our driver dropped us off at the entrance to the old town. We exchange cabin numbers with the couple and hope to do the same thing in other ports.

We walked around the town for a while and then went up to walk the wall. The old town of Dubrovnik is a completely walled town and walking the wall is very popular. It was pretty crowded up on the wall today. 

Once we walked around the entire wall, we went looking for a buza bar. There are a few buza bars; they are bars on the water side of the wall. There are no signs but we saw one as we were walking the wall so we had an idea where to go. 

They are quite small but have wonderful views and are right on the rocks at the water's edge. We sat and had a couple of local beers and enjoyed the sun and the view.

We walked around a while longer and then decided to head back to the ship. We met a different couple at the taxi stop and shared a taxi back to the ship (10 euro = 5 per couple).

We went to the buffet for dinner and sat outside watching the ship sail away as we ate.

Walked around the ship for a while and then went to the family friendly comedy show. It was really good. We will return later for the adult show.

We had a wonderful day in Dubrovnik. Tomorrow is a sea day as we make our way to Messina, Sicily, Italy. Looking forward to sitting in the sun and just relaxing.
