Dubrovnik

Today was a good day. We discovered that we have completely lost our Texas bred heat tolerance. So hot today. I could only bring travel size sunscreen (to get started) because we just carried on and we slathered up and headed out around 830. We are a 30 min walk from the old city and headed there to meet for our Game of Thrones tour. We watched all 8 seasons and a lot of it was filmed in Croatia. The locations were very cool to see (but the kids were a bit lost). Still cool to see the forts and fortresses around the city. Your guide was great but it was so hot! The old city has cool old huge fountains for water refills and we definitely drank our share. After the tour we found delicious gelato (mango and coconut were highlights per usual) and then we went to the maritime museum included on our pass to escape the heat. No air con, but a bench will do. They had a cool kids area that the boys loved. After we left there we went to lunch at a delicious Mediterranean spot called
Dubrovka 1836. The kids had pizza and a schnitzel and Tige and I shared an octopus salad and hot veggies that were super yummy. Bread, beer and an aperol spritz rounded out the meal. After lunch we made our way to Banje beach and spent 2.5 hours in the Adriatic Sea. So lovely and refreshing. Kids were desperate for the water. We changed and headed back to town to climb the stairs to the wall around the town. A very cool 2km walk around the old town. I will admit that I was 100% done by the end (esp after having Covid last week) and demanded a cab home. We made it back, had showers and Tige went out for groceries. Kids ate and passed out and we finished what is at this time a heartbreaker for England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 tomorrow we head to our island hang!Läs mer
