Days 1 and 2: Dubrovnik

Day 1: Arrival in Dubrovnic

Well it's definitely autumn and Dubrovnik greeted us with pouring rain on and off throughout the evening.

People sheltering under canvas roof outside a pub in an alley in Dubrovnik at night — Down and down it pours

That didn't stop us from having a great time. Crossing having alfresco dinner in a downpour and eating ice-cream under an umbrella from the bucket list 😄

Day 2: Exploring Dubrovnik

Walk the Walls

After an omelette for breakfast, we bought the Dubrovnik card and mounted the many stairs to climb the city walls at Pile gate.

Now having a cappuccino and a kakao on top of the wall while listening to the water splashing against the rocks below and enjoying the sun and blue sea view :)
