• Dubrovnik 2 - boat trip

    October 14, 2023 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Having realised that the departure point for the tour wasn't just a short walk away I found an Uber which dropped us off to the place on our ticket?

    Unfortunately, this didn't seem to be the place that we were supposed to catch the boat and we walked through a building site, found a marina which wasn't the right place and then back along a further part of the building site before we were picked up by the boat, having spoken to the tour operator to arrange a pickup.

    The boat hugged the coast before heading out to an island where we first stopped at the blue cave. Here's where I realised my first mistake, the caves that we were to see required swimming... So only one of us was going to be seeing them!

    I swam under a very low rock into a large cave where when you looking back, the whole of the cave glowed a blue colour.

    Next stop was the green caves, a trio of caves is different sizes.... These were less impressive but I swam into each of them and with the face mask provided, could see hundreds of small fish!

    Fortunately by now the boat driver had given us some beers. The final stop was an inlet with a beach and some restaurants and so once we were moored up, we had a couple of drinks and a snack overlooking the bay.

    The trip back to Dubrovnik took about 20 minutes and we caught a taxi back to the old town.

    Having showered, we headed out for dinner at a lovely restaurant overlooking the bay before walking back and having a couple of night caps at the bar next to our accommodation.
