I woke in the night with cramp; apart from being painful it's usually a bad omen. I then laid awake feeling a bit ill. As ever they wanted us up early and we had to rush breakfast. I just had a bowl of porridge!
The coach drove us into Dubrovnik and left us there for the day. But, as the UK is apparently having a heatwave it literally chucked it down all day here! We don't go on holidays for the weather but it is always nicer when it's warm and dry. We had a guided tour of the old town but there were several cruise ships in the harbour so there must have been 20 or 30 other similar guided tours on at the same time. As most people were carrying umbrellas it was hard to see things and we spent most of our time trying to avoid getting our eyes poked out! To make matters worse I felt less well as the tour progressed til it reached the point that I needed the toilet, so I asked our tour manager and she took me to a nearby restaurant to use theirs. It was very tiny, one gents and one ladies but a guy went in the gents just as I got there, so I went in the ladies.
Sure enough when I came out there was a woman waiting and she gave me a look and tutted, so I gave her my best Mr Bean shrug and said sorry.
The tour ended and we had the rest of the day to ourselves but we were getting wetter all the time and it was pretty uncomfortable. We had a coffee at an outside cafe table with a big parasol but, eventually the weight of water overwhelmed the parasol and it tipped over a German lady! We'd had enough and got the bus back to the hotel. I was feeling really quite ill by then and slept all afternoon.
Didn't feel up to eating til 8-30 which is very late for us and I suddenly got my appetite back. Had sea trout, squid, steak with potatoes, zucchini and broccoli. Hope I don't regret it later and that I sleep tonight as we have to be up at 6 !!! to go to Montenegro tomorrow
