after another lazy afternoon in polace we caught a very hot
very stuffy ferry to dubrovnik - another hydrofoil with no air conditioning. we were like cooked chickens when we were
finally expelled, gasping, onto the dubrovnik docks. we found the bus easily
and were deposited outside the pile gate in the early evening. it was quite the
shock after quiet mljet – suddenly people everywhere! thank god for gps – i
just turned on my phone and we winded our way like james bond through the narrow old town streets to our
apartment (about 1 million stairs up).

the apartment was perfect, and so was dubrovnik although we
got a bit touristed out after awhile. saturday morning we waked the walls (!!!! - i have always wanted to do this!). it was hot hot hot but we were early enough that there weren't too many people. by the end i was about as hot as i have ever been i think, but very happy.

we spent the afternoon swimming and
drinking rather expensive beer at a beautiful bar cut into the rocks called buva and generally had an amazing time.

on sunday morning we got up really early and went for a quiet walk before the tourist hordes descended. it was so beautiful. i have always wanted to go to dubrovnik and i loved it.
