Could have had a lie in as it was a free day but as they had forecast a thunderstorm at 2pm we wanted to get out and do things before then. So down for breakfast just after 7 and I filled my bowl with semolina and porridge; it's gorgeous!
We got the service bus at 8-30 and it was packed with locals going to work. It was a beautiful sunny morning and we were up on the castle walls at 9. I had accepted George's challenge to have my photo taken in the same spot as him. It must be a couple of miles round the entire walls and involves climbing 2 million steps but I found what I thought was the spot, then had to place the lovely Janet where I thought Callie must have taken G's photo. It was only later that we got the chance to compare the 2 and the brick pattern proved I got it exactly right, so that's 50 kunas G owes me.
It was so hot we had to find a shaded cafe for a sit down and a beer (at 10-15am!).
Then we got on a boat and sailed down the coast to Cavtat which is a lovely little seaside resort, and it was fairly quiet too. Had lunch at a cafe on the seafront. I had a large beer which cost less than Mum's lemonade! They had swordfish steak on the menu but I had to remember I get a big dinner so just had a ham and cheese sandwichy type of thing, which was delicious.
After we sailed back to Dubrovnik the thunderstorm should have occurred but it never did. It stayed hot and sunny, so we had a wander round the old town and had a last ice cream and got the bus back to the hotel. I had another beer and a siesta.
For tea I had steak (yes just the one main item but with all the trimmings) and managed to fit 4 different types of cake (they're not massive pieces, honest) under my ice cream.
The only thing left to mention is that your mother has become a floosy! Every time I turn my back on her some old bloke jumps in and chats her up. My only solace is beer.
