October 1st - Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik bills itself as the Pearl of the Adriatic - and it is. The Old City is a compact walled-in area not too far from the port, and it lends itself well to a do it yourself tour - which is what we did.

The most popular activity in Dubrovnik is to walk the city walls - I believe it's about a mile and a half around and it certainly offers a wonderful view of the town and the ocean.....but it was a hot day and I'm a bit nervous about heights, so we opted to remain at ground level. Even so, I can't imagine a better day. There were several cruise ships in port and the place was crowded - so at the first opportunity we "took the road less traveled by". And just as Frost promised - it made all the difference.
