Dubrovnik, Croatia. Part 1

Sunday April 3

Dubrovnik is one of the world's most beautifully preserved medieval cities in a gorgeous Adriatic Setting....  George Bernard Shaw's "Paradise on earth".

It's a foggy Sunday in Dubrovnik.  We weren't feeling very well this morning, probably due to too many rich foods and the various wines last night.   We decided to visit on our own, rather than take a tour.  The old fort-like structures are most impressive.  This is where 2 seasons of The Game of Thrones were filmed.  The shops like to play on that.  Bob went to the top of one structure and had a great view of the city.  The quaint cobbled sidewalks are very narrow, yet each one seems to have a number of restaurants.  Just put out an awning and a few chairs, and you have a restaurant.  So fun!

Tonight our surprise was dinner with the Captain!  We had a great visit with Captain Rune Lockling, and 6 other 50 dayers from Texas and Australia.  Looks like Captain will be meeting with all 50 dayers.   We had prime rib and chicken, others had lobster Thermidor.  Sorbet was our dessert of choice.  Another lovely evening with new friends.

We return to Dubrovnik in a few days.
