Days 14-15: Dubrovnik, Croatia and day at sea

Day 14 (May 12): Dubrovnik, Croatia

Today the ship stopped in Dubrovnik. We bought the 24 hour Dubrovnik Pass so we could access buses, the City Wall, and other museums. We initially were going to take the bus to the old city from the port, but the first bus filled and we were still in line. A taxi van pulled up and offered rides for 3 Euro each, so we (and 6 others) hopped in.

When we arrived at the Old Town, it wasn't super busy yet, and you could still find several empty or nearly empty streets.

We spent a few hours just wandering the streets 

and admiring the architecture.

We visited a couple of museums, including Rector's Palace

and a few churches

We then found a farmers market near the Jesuit Steps 

where we bought some cherries and figs.

We then spent a bit of time walking around the old port 

From there, we decided to walk the city walls and entered at Ploce Gate.

The walls give a different perspective of the city 

I only walked half the way, exiting at Pile Gate. Steve continued all the way around and exited at Ploce Gate where we started. 

Then we had a series of miscommunications while trying to find each other, but eventually reconnected for a late lunch.

We walked around a bit more, then shared a van taxi with a few others who were also heading back to the ship (the busses were packed).

Day 15 (May 13): At Sea

Today we had our final sea day, which gave us a chance to relax and recover from all the stairs and walking yesterday.
