Days are going way too fast......got up early to have my
eggs Benedict ....best ever...Audy had breakfast in the room and at 8:30 we met
in the theater for the cable car tour and Dubrovnik .....rode the shuttle bus
to the cable car site...up the car to the top of the hill...a clear and
beautiful day...and quite honestly, nothing in the world (that we know of) like
the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Totally driven now by tourism, this is the ultimate
in a picture postcard setting of ancient history fronting on the
Mediterranean.....photos can only tell the true picture, and I took over a hundred this morning. We stayed at the top
for about 45 minutes....got to see photos of the 1991-1995 war of the
homelands, as they call it...which, in essence gave them independence from
Yugoslavia. The views from the top are
breathtaking in every respect, as the damage has been completely repaired, and
the views of the bay and waters and of the Old Town itself are phenomenal..
> We then returned down to the cable car station and
were bussed to the east gate of the Old Town..,then had a very good tour of the
streets through the totally walled community of about a thousand people that
live within the Walls. We decided to catch the first shuttle back and have
lunch and Audy a quick nap...and we are going to take the shuttle back
now..then back to the ship for the tour of the kitchen areas. It is, and has
been, of great interest to me to see how they feed a thousand folks with such
great food so well done.....so we shall see...more to come.
