Delightful Dubrovnik

The cloisters in the Franciscan Monastery.

Wow! Dubrovnic’s old town is really delightful.

We arrived and found an apartment in the centre of the old town, only steps from the wall, the cathedral etc. It is such a great location, we keep calling in … to have cups of tea, go to the toilet, drop off shopping etc. It is in the area where they believe the earliest church was built but not located….. We believe it is just under our apartment!

We spent the last 2 days simply strolling the old town. We have walked the famous walls, visited the cathedral and treasury complete with the relics of St. Blaize; the church of St. Saviour, the Franciscan Monastery and St. Blaize’s church; lots of beautiful buildings, old palaces and museums including the Rector’s Palace complete with original furnishings and artworks, the Franciscan and the Maritime. We have others planned for tomorrow.

We have now walked the walls of Dubrovnik but unfortunately got wet for the last 10minutes but the views were wonderful. We have also visited another few churches and museums and have been totally impressed with this beautiful city.

We are spending 2 days in Montenegro

So. Do you suspect it is beneath your apartment because you have been having nightly visits from angels? If so, that might just be the wine...

Those cloisters are beautiful.

I hope you will be able to enlighten us as to who St Blaize and St Saviour were on your return!
