Split, Croatia, was not meant to be. The seas were rocking and rolling - and so was our ship. The captain wisely decided to bypass Split and head for Dubrovnik a day early. I personally found the ship's movement to be rather soothing - and had a great night's sleep.
The shore expedition to Cavtat and Old Town Dubrovnik had an exciting beginning. It was a very short distance from the ship to the tour bus, but we all got thoroughly soaked. And, just as we left the ship, there was an incredible bolt of lightning just in front of us.
Our tour guide had her own opinion, however, stating that thunder and lightning really indicated the storm was passing over. She was right! By the time we got to Cavtat, we were shedding our extra layers and getting ready to enjoy the resort town, just south of Dubrovnik.
Larry and I opted to take a hike around the peninsula and it was beautiful. An hour later, we boarded the bus again - this time for Old Town Dubrovnik. We walked around and around and tried to find some jewelry to buy. I did get an inexpensive necklace, but we decided the red coral finery could be easily made from bead store components at a much lower cost.
I believe we probably raced up to the buffet when we finally made it back to the ship. Their spaghetti was delicious - as well as the bread, desserts, etc.
From 4-6 P.M. we usually made our way to the Crystal Room for wine and appetizers with the other members of the Captain's Club.
