A Day in Croatia

Anneke and Chloe in Dubrovnik

Early this morning the ship docked in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  We had 12 hours in port and enjoyed a lot of flexibility.  After we had eaten breakfast, we went down to the gangplank.  Before we could leave, we had to go through security.  Even as we were walking off the gangplank, we were bombarded by souvenir shops. We looked at what they had to offer and took a taxi to the Old Town.  Once there we took some pictures of a cove with the battlements.  The weather was horrible and made for beautiful pictures of the turbulent water.  We proceeded across the drawbridge and into the walled town of  Medieval Dubrovnik.

Inside we decided we wanted to go up on the wall but not just yet, and so we went on.  The main drag was wall to wall souvenir shops and the like.  As we walked down the street, we went in shops and churches.  We bought some gifts and souvenirs. We skirted off down some side streets but were unable to find Croatian food so we ate pizza.  We did find our favorite dessert and had tiramisu gelato in the rain.  While Papa and Anneke sat by the fountain in the main square, Nonny and Chloe went up into the wet ramparts.  We took some wonderful pictures and Chloe didn’t hold onto her umbrella very well. Sorry, Mom!  Once down, we looked for the umbrella and eventually gave up.  We took a taxi back and got on our cruise ship,  glad that we had come to Croatia.
