Day 2, May 13, 2014
We slept well and after a double espresso headed out for
breakfast. The city was already packed
with tourists following their guides, not one speaking English. We started exploring this beautiful walled
city that had risen from the ashes after the shelling during the 1991 war which
almost destroyed it. With rain and thunderstorms in the forecast
for the next few days we decided to walk the walls of the city. A $20 cost per was well worth the experience
where we got a first hand look at the destruction. Most of the clay roofs had new tiles and we
saw several ruins from the shelling. The
two hour walk on the wall included tons of stairs leading to different
elevations for breathtaking views of the Dubrovnik
and the surrounding scenery.
Hot babe
We did a bit of grocery shopping to stock up on the
essentials - beer, wine, cheese, crackers, eggs, and borek, a traditional snack
of minced meat wrapped in phyllo dough. Add a cold beer and that was our lunch
– delicious! Dinner took us to one of the many streets lined with endless outdoor
restaurants. I had grilled squid, which
came with six of the tenderest squids I have ever eaten. Jill had a craving for
cevapcci, which are tradional skinless sausages made from a mixture of seasoned
beef and lamb and was surprised when ten were presented on her plate with
fries, salad, and a mound of ajvar, a red pepper relish with garlic. A bottle of house white topped off an
absolutely delicious meal and an ice cream as we strolled the main street
gazing at the hundred of swallows that came out for their evening meal.
