Dubrovnik, Croatia


Saturday, April 28 a glorious sunny warm spring day in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  The Old City of Dubrovnik is s UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the Adriatic Coast and as lovely as we expected.  The walled city is small and very historical, featuring cobbled streets and a Franciscan Monastery that was built in the early 14th century.

Most first time visitors walk along the 13th century mile and a half protective barrier walls of Dubrovnik to see the spectacular views. View the 15th century Onofrio Fountain after passing through the traditional entrance, the Pile Gate, and explore the Rectors Palace.

The sail into and out of the Dalmatian Coast provided stunning panoramas of charming red-roofed villages and the beautiful sapphire waters of the bay.  We can’t wait for our return visit to see more of this spectacular area next week as we begin our Holy Land cruise venture.
With everyone onboard early, sail away was shortly after 3:30PM and we were headed for Koper, Slovenia.

Cindy was allowed to “ditch” her crutches today and begin to put weight on her foot but it has not healed completely, another two or three weeks to go – so it seems.
