A look at the famous walled city from the sea.
It was rainy, it was cold it was windy, it makes for a beautiful sea.
The famous walls of the city.
The Onofrio fountain, This used to be the area in town where everyone congregated. It also used to have 12 different animals up there. Only the dog remains, well, pigeons have no problem photobombing everywhere.
Finally, in Dubrovnik there was talk about the war in the 90s. Our local guide lived through the bombing in the basement of her house. There are a few reminders of the damage, most were fixed. Some remain as reminders of the war. I noticed that there is shrapnel damage on the street sign for Jewish Street.
The synagogue in Dubrovnik is no longer active, it is simply a museum.
That wonderful Hebrew script, wishing you well as you leave.
We had rain! It was cold, it is a little hard to see, but there is plenty of shrapnel damage here as well.
steep stairways in the old city. People used to live here, these days most of the local residents have left and it is all hotels and Airbnbs. There is no community feeling left for the locals – so they moved out to newer neighborhoods.
The sun came out in the afternoon! We drove to a cute little town called Cavtat, this was the view along the way, spectacular.
Here we are in Cavtat, with friends from the tour, it was sunny and bright, I had gelato for lunch, my own cone!
Views from above included the cable car.
At night we went to the Cave Bar, are you noticing familiar people? Yup, Jo in the front is quite the photographer.
I did it! I was able to edit down this video that Jo took so that I can share it here with you, when they built the hotel above, they discovered this cave and they built a bar into it, in the final scenes you can barely see the stalactites as well as the ocean below.
And next, we go on a small boat and visit islands.
