Day8 🇭🇷 part “Croatia - Dubrovnik”

Our day began in Mostar, Bosnia - Herzegovina. We woke up and had already left by 9:00. Our trip was about 2:45 hours long through the mountains - no national road from Mostar to Dubrovnik, which meant that we found cows, small villages and a lot of curves in the road. For most of the journey, I fell asleep 😂 (sorry Lampro!). I felt so tired and since we have the maps on the car’s screen we can’t really play music. We do talk a lot, but I could only speak nonsense cause of my tiredness 😂. When we arrived in Kupari, which is a small village 10 minutes away from Dubrovnik, we found the owner of the booking and he let us check in two hours early. They also had a private parking free of charge which was very very convenient. There’s a beach near here, 10 minute walk, and we finally decided we would go for a quick dip (after a week of summer holidays, Lampros said yes to the beach!!!). It was nothing much, a lot of abandoned old hotels (we haven’t figured out why they’re all abandoned on the sea front🤔) and huge dirty rocks in the sea, but the water didn’t seam too bad and it was lovely and refreshing. We spent about half an hour there and then walked back to our room for showers. Then we were very hungry, so we walked to a shopping mall (5 minute walk - yet another shopping mall on our itinerary, we’ve seen all the malls in the Balkans😂) in hopes of finding something to eat. We opted for salad bowls and chicken nuggets from the super market which were divine (Lampros has been complaining that we haven’t had proper food all these days and felt very good with his salad🤪). We walked back to our room, had our late lunch and then had a little bit of a rest. We’re not rushing to go into Dubrovnik cause we know it’s going to be packed with people and it’s going to be hot and we want to avoid that. So after about 45 minutes, we had figured the bus routes out and went to the bus stop to go to Dubrovnik. When we arrived we had a little bit of a walk and then arrived at the gates of the old town. At the top of the walk there’s Minčeta Tower, one of the most prominent and most visited of Dubrovnik’s protecting towers as well as the highest point of its defence system. There are a lot of spots where Game of Thrones has been filmed in the old City, so we walked to a few since I’m a fan. On our walk, we also stumbled upon a Croatian wedding. They were dancing to traditional music and one person was flagging their national flag. We had had enough of the crowds, and decided we would go back to our room and get some rest so we could wake up early in the morning and visit the town again then, hopefully without all the people. Tomorrow we also have a new country! Czytaj więcej
