Up early to be at the ferry stop at 7am. I’d booked our tickets months ago but after lining up for 20 minutes and getting to the front of the line we were told that our ferry would be too crowded and we had to move to the other one. Unfortunately this meant our ferry didn’t get into Dubrovnik at 12 as planned but 1:30 instead. There was some nice scenery as the boat went along but unfortunately they had the door to the upper deck locked until the second to last stop so we couldn’t go outside.
Caught a local bus to Dubrovnik old town and I got very excited when we arrived as I saw lots of areas where they filmed one of my favourite shows, Game of Thrones (I’ve now made mum watch four episodes and she’s getting into it). It’s a beautiful city and we found our accomodation easily and the lovely Ivana gave us some good suggestions about things to do while we’re here. We had some down time before meeting my good friend Matilda who flew in from Sweden to spend the next three days with us. It was lovely to see her again and we caught up before having a good look around the town.
We had dinner at the oldest fish restaurant in Dubrovnik which was packed but resting on its laurels a bit as we weren’t impressed by the seafood and the service was terrible. Made up for it by getting an ice cream and wandering out onto the harbour to watch the ships and the kayak tours. It started pouring with rain then so we headed back to our accomodation with tomorrow’s breakfast supplies on board.
