May 26 Cruising the Adriatic Part 7 Dubrovnik, Croatia

We were taken by bus from the ship to the city center just outside the gates to the walled "old town."  Dubrovnik is a medieval city surrounded on all sides with walls.  As we waited for our guide, Dabriella, to join us, we were entertained by this fellow and his lovely granddaughter.

She joined us and escorted us over the drawbridge and into the city center. Of course, as soon as we were able we searched out a geocache in town!  Here's Meg with our GPS standing in front of it, "it" being the old clock tower.  Geocaching takes you to the most interesting spots!


 One side of the old city walls overlooks the port/marina of Dubrovnik.


 Probably the best thing about a tour of Dubrovnik is a complete walk around the city walls.  They are over a mile (6360 feet) in length and beautifully preserved.






After a perfect day, we say goodbye to our lovely and very knowledgeable guide, Dabriella, who is by the way fluent in English, French, Italian and some Spanish.  We hope to see her again, and would recommend her highly on your next trip to Dubrovnik!
