With the monster ship parked in the smallish port of Dubrovnik we get shuttled by bus to the old town, which is a unique fortified town that has seen clashes with invaders over many centuries. The single most spectacular thing about it (in my opinion) is that the main thoroughfare is white marble.
You will have realised how stingy I am, which is why we avoided climbing up to the city walls at a cost of 15 euros, and instead we explored the city’s narrow back-streets which gave us shade from the searing sun and some interesting encounters with the local cat population.
Dubrovnik cathedral and at least three other churches were bright and airy, and the little harbour was picturesque.
Tomorrow will be a bigger day …
