Luther’s day in Dubrovnik: “We saw some big walls, a lot of roof tiles, 3 of the 4 jumped into the water. The waves went crazy. Prosciutto and melons for lunch were good. Good ice cream.”
What the rest of us saw: We shuttled into Dubrovnik and circumnavigated the old city atop the medieval stone walls which encircle it. Julie thanks Angela for the stairs of Rosewood Beach. Then we hit the streets to check out the local churches, most of which had to be rebuilt after the big earthquake if 1669 (thank you, Dennis, for this bit of information). We picked up picnic supplies for prosciutto, salami and cheese sandwiches and took our picnic to the rocky shore below the walls. Dennis, Rebecca and Luther jumped into the water (warmer than the Cape Cod National Seashore but colder than Lake Michigan on a good day but incredibly clear). Julie sacrificed for the cause by remaining on shore to take pictures. The presence of small fish in the water had nothing to do with this decision.
On our way back to catch the shuttle, Luther found the best ice cream of the trip to date. Dennis found an espresso. While Dennis slaved away in the afternoon (after his nap, of course), Julie, Luther and Rebecca continued their marathon Fill or Bust game on deck with the cocktail of the day. Scores will be updated later.
After dinner and a lovely sunset, we are primed to visit the shops on the promenade. Once again, we are unable to upload photos while on the ship’s internet service so we’ll try to hit an internet café when we can – maybe even tomorrow on Corfu, the first of our Greek islands.
