Arriving in the beautiful seaside port of Dubrovnik in the Adratic Sea we disembarked for the short taxi ride to the old town. Dubrovnik, like most of the ports we visited is also a walled city.
They are undergoing major renovation after the civil war launched on them by the Serbs in 1991-1992.
They were part of the republic that broke away from Yugoslavia.
The old town has now been restored to its former beauty.
Things have dramaticaly changed since Rufus and I were here 10 years ago. Durrovnik has become a huge vacation destination town, and with that unfortunately comes too many souvenier shops in my opinion.
We walked around the old town, with its marble walkway and took in the sights until it was lunchtime.
A lunch stop at Ragusas fit the bill, with its fresh seafood, we feasted on squid, mussels, shrimp, fish and grilled vegetables. All washed down by the local wine of course.
After lunch, we took the gondola (cable car) ride to the top of the mountain to get a birdseye view of the entire island and its walled city.
Back sat the ship for our next two days at sea.
We bought some beautiful ear rings, coral and other jewerly, yeah!!! Food was good, lots of steps up to the gondola, of course i chickened out!!!
