Dallying in Dubrovnik

Our ship arrived in Dubrovnik early this morning and after breakfast we caught a taxi to the old town - known as 'Stari Grad'.

Dubrovnik is a beautiful walled city that we have many fond memories of.  We walked round to the tiny apartment where we stayed a few years ago.

We walked down the Plaka and near the cathedral there was a festival that we think was a wedding.  There was much singing and dancing and we hope to attach a photo.  The eating and drinking will come later no doubt.

We also travelled to the top of the adjacent mountain by cable car where the view over the old city and harbour is spectacular.  Larer in the day we plan to walk along the walls.

Some of the wonderful costumes at the ceremony in the front of the cathedral.

The view as we went up in the cable car.

Matt said he loves the photo of the old walled city and harbour from the top of the cable car.

I just wondered what would happen if a cable broke...

Hi Grandi and fellow travellers. It sounds like you are having the most fabulous time. Dubrovnik is a place i would love to visit after seeing these photos. I will go back to the hum drum of winter, school lunches and washing. Live it up you crazy kids.

What a gorgeous view. It'd scare the pants off me going up that cable car!
