Dubrovnik

Saturday morning and we had moved back 1 hour into our normal time zone which gave us 1 hour extra in bed. Great!


There was a lovely sunrise as seen through our cabin window. Our cabin steward was very good, the cabin was cleaned impeccably every day but I didn't see him once clean the outside of the window!


The tour took us to a viewpoint to see the city.


The old city walls run for almost 2 kilometres around the city and have been featured as the setting on Game of Thrones.


We were then taken into the city itself to see a Franciscan Church and monastery...


...and the 18th century Cathedral...



...which houses relics of Saint Blaise, the city's patron Saint.



The busy main street had many alleys running off it...


...and there was the very nice Old Harbour at the end.


The market was in full swing and although the currency is the Kuna the enterprising sellers and coffee shops also accepted the Euro.


A brilliant experience and certainly worth another visit at some future date.
