Tuesday, 4/26. Very pretty coastline as we sailed in. I can only imagine how pretty it was for my parents to do the same in 1985 on a 42 foot ketch. 

I was in this city just eight weeks ago. Our excursion began with a great boat ride along the coastline, ending in the ancient Dubrovnik harbor. The guide was excellent. Incredibly, her talk was very different than the one I’d heard before. She brought an entirely new angle to the city. Whereas the previous guide spoke at length about the 1992 siege, this time the conversation was about the city’s commercial history.

Afterwards I retraced my steps to the Buza Bar, but unfortunately they only dealt in the local currency. We had lunch at the first place we found after that. Excellent! It was at the top of the famous “Walk of Shame” steps. Everyone was told to take a photo to impress those friends of theirs who were Game of Thrones fanatics.

At one point during our walk, I heard a familiar voice. Confused, I turned and saw the trainee Trip Leader from my visit in March! We said hi, but as he was conducting a tour we couldn’t say more.  

Wine tasted. Bought another t-shirt for the grandson. An incredible number of shops were open that had been closed in March. Stores dedicated entirely to Game of Throne merchandise came out of the woodwork. 

We returned to the ship to rest. Yoriko did laundry. Had another great dinner. Competed in a trivia game.
