• Wonder Walls of Dubrovnik

    6. mai, Kroatia ⋅ 🌩️ 18 °C

    Due to that pesky gentle breeze again, the water taxis weren't running, so bus again. Unfortunately on this one we were squished like sardines, but can't complain about the incredibly scenic route along the coast to Dubrovnik.

    We chose to use our Dubrovnik Pass today, which is a discount ticket for lots of historical landmarks. We started the day by doing the City Walls walk all along the perimeter of the walled city. We took millions of photos as the views were amazing, and made the most of the sunshine as it was forecast rain today (well all week!)

    We then walked to the Lovrjenac Fortress which yet again had many lovely views of the old town.

    After millions of steps we stopped for lunch and Tom tried black Risotto which turned his teeth black 🤣

    We had a leisurely Potter around some of the museums on our ticket including Rector's palace, archaeology museum and a monastery.

    Also coffee and Gelato stops again of course!

    I'd spotted another part of the wall we hadn't walked on, so asked in the tourist information and there was a whole other part of the old walls included in our ticket, so we did lots more walking up steps and into turrets/lookout points. The best part is that we were the only people walking this part of the wall, a member of staff told us this area had only recently opened to the public so we were one of the first people to visit!

    From one of the towers we spotted a basketball court down below. We found it funny that a rectangular court wouldn't fit due to the shape of the walls, but they built it anyway with the shape following the walls, cutting a corner off!

    Safe to say we are exhausted now!
