Dubrovnik, Croatia - July 17


Today was our most leisurely yet. After another wonderful breakfast overlooking the sea we settle in at the pool/beach. The great thing about a vacation like this one where we are visiting loads of great places with tons of history and plenty to see is that there is never a lack of something to do. However, sometimes I’d like to sleep in and have a lack of something to do. Today we take time to do little but relax.

After lunch in town and a nap we meet up with friends of Chris’ from work who are also in Dubrovnik for Saturday’s wedding. We meet at our hotel for drinks on the terrace overlooking the sea and then take them to where we had drinks at the unmarked spot a couple of days ago. It is no less beautiful tonight. The moon is getting fuller which is beautiful - the photo is the view we have from this spot. The one thing that has changed is the mosquitoes. Up until tonight we haven’t seen much for bugs at all – the mosquitoes are out tonight! Most everyone is being eaten alive so we don’t linger here.

Dinner is all about fish with the exception of one order of chicken. 2 people we are with share the fish platter for 2 similar to the one we had the other night, Chris has grilled squid and I have a whole sea bass. The sea bass comes whole, isn’t too big (maybe a foot long including the head and tail) and is delicious! Restaurants here seem to either be meat and fish or pizza and pasta neither of which have disappointed!

It’s another beautiful night with little humidity, but probably the coolest one yet. After a drink at the main square area and plenty of people watching we are done for the day.
