Dubrovnik Cable Car

Today we woke up at 4:50am, this was in our eyes ‘To seize the day” when planning the trip… This is our flight to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We trained to the Airport, EasyJet who we were travelling with advised to arrive at 5.20am, we arrived at 5.40am, little did we know there was 5-6 flights leaving close together so check in was looooonnnnnnnggggggg! In the end when you’ve lined up and check in closing time is getting close, the workers start screaming plane destinations and saying come to the front…. What a system, lets hope the pilot has a better system for actually controlling the aircraft. We got our bags dropped, through security and to our gate thankfully, also thanks to AirTags I knew our bags were coming with us!!

When we landed in Dubrovnik we brought passes for the airport shuttle, now Croatia is a bit loose we found out, on the bus ride the drive pulled over randomly and picked up extra passengers for 5euro per couple… at a stop we knew he wasn’t meant to be at! Then he had to take a phone call while driving the bus which Katie was thrilled to see in from her front seat view!

We got to Dubrovnik Old Town and found an amazing focaccia cafe for an early lunch and a coffee with the view of the City Walls. We then walked the bags up to the accomodation and dropped them off while we explored Old Town.

We walked to Old Town and it was a bit hot, so upon walking through Buza Gate, the North gate of Old Town and down a very step clad road, we searched for the highest rated Gelato in town… also the most expensive Gelato once I worked it out! We had been warned Croatia might be expensive seeing they’ve changed to Euro, what we found in Old Town was insane prices, the walking of city walls is 35Euro & the cable car to the top of the hill 27Euro each. We both didn’t feel that we were dying to do these, so admired from the ground of Old Town.

We walked around Old Town seeing the Old Port, Polce Gate, Pile Gate and the many churches from the outside. We did find a heap of cats at one f the churches, so we had to stop and say Hi… Be rude not too! There was a cruise ship in and you could tell, wall to wall people and we really didn’t find it comfortable, so we headed to check in to the accomodation & rest, along the we got a beer for myself to write these, but I ended up redoing our Split Accommodation.

We also did washing at the accomodation for the afternoon, very important admin!

We didn’t want to be price gauged in Old Town for dinner, so we headed towards Dubrovnik town to a cafe called Kiosk Dubrovnik. A bar/kitchen in a converted Kiosk and outdoor seating. Very nice ambiance with Gruz Port in the background and nice music!

We went back to the accomodation to finish the washing after dinner!Leia mais
