Day 13
Dubrovnik
Another early morning as we took the ferry back to the mainland and drove onto Dubrovnik, we had a change of plan due to the thousands of people in the city as they have numerous cruise ships in, so we met a guide in the Old town and she told us some of the interesting history of this amazing city. We took a tour with her and learned quite a lot about the earthquake in the 1600s and the wars plus the recent one in 1991, quite sobering to know that one was only in our lifetime. This walled city is often referred to as the 'pearl of the Adriatic'. After checking into our Hotel we took a bus back to town and went on the cable car up to the top of the mountain and had a marvelous view of this beautiful city and wall.
We look forward to climbing and walking around the wall tomorrow, a definite highlight.
