We docked in Dubrovnik Wednesday. The new pier/cruise port is a few miles from the city so we took a bus to get to the Pile Gate of the walled city. There are no cars within the walls so we just meandered around the winding, cobblestone streets. Shops and small cafes are everywhere.
I went up a million stairs to "walk the wall." I had to pay for the torture. It is a bit over a mile long with stairs going up, stairs going down, flat areas and thankfully, places to sit and buy water. The views were truly amazing. All of the buildings in the Old Town have the same adobe-type tiled roofs and all the walls were the same light stone. Too bad you can't see the photos.
After catching the bus back to the ship, we ended up napping through afternoon tea. Shocking, I know. Tonight was the night we chose to go to the specialty restaurant on board. Our table mates in the main dining room were going to join us so we had them over to our suite for some champagne and appetizers before dinner. The meal was very, very good, so good, in fact, we were too exhausted to wait for the ship to leave port and the casino to open.
The ship left port about 10:30pm....off to another country.
