17/8/2011 Dubrovnik, Croatia – Contiki tour day 30

After a slight sleep in we caught the public transport into the old town in Dubrovnik where we did a walking tour with a local guide. We sat on the docks in the old port by the water for lunch before heading out on a cruise. We motored around a few different islands and jumped off into the clear blue aqua water and relaxed on the beach with a gelato for a bit before heading back to the old port. A small group of us went back into the old town and wandered the city walls at sunset with views out over the red rooves and the Adriatic sea which was spectacular. We followed this with a massive Cataloni pizza for dinner. One of the best days of the trip! Loads of photos in this one - such an amazing place!

The filled in parts around the bottom of the pillars on the stairs were designed to stop people from being able to see ladies ankles as they ascended/descended the stairs back in the day...
