Dubrovnik is a total zoo. The only redeeming factor - we are right inside the city walls and can walk back and forth to everything. Sun at first yesterday then holed up in a cheapo resto at 4pm. Heavy rain ensued!
Absolutely no traffic in old town zone so lots of walking. Slippery shiny cobbles
Not bad daily special meal of salad, fish, dessert and two free glasses of their pear liquor ($20 food, and $16 for 2 beers).) Interesting even there they had cover charge of $2 each - apparently for bread basket (not touched!) oil and vinegar.
Went to lovely little market yesterday so have flowers on my dining table now. Bit more like home.

Ted just got back from walking to the fantastic bakery with various croissants (esp ham and cheese for brekkie.) I brought Nescafé decaf from Liz's - unheard of here! But Ted found coffee and milk at the small grocery store in the old town yesterday so he is brewing away. We have a small balcony so enjoy breakfast outside but no sun yet! Cloudy and breezy.
He had to fight his way through the old ladies at the grocery store trying to decide what to buy...decided to give it a miss til later. The old town really is a living city, the kids go to school, I hear them taking off in the morning. Although old, the apt is well set up, and the plumbing and double windows very efficient and keep out noise.
It is definitely party town here, music everywhere at night, jazz, pop, etc everyone out on the street strolling. We had lunch/dinner early, came home, then went back out for the stroll. Nice to be able to do that so easily.
