September 28, 2013 - Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik was completed in the 13th century and the old city of Dubrovnik has remained basically unchanged.  We enjoyed our walking tour seeing Franciscan Monastery, Clock Tower, St. Laurence Fortress, Sponza’s Palace, and Rector’s Palace.  

Then we had the remaining day at leisure.  We did more touring around the old town by going to both south side and north side of the town.  



We took the bus back to our hotel at 2 PM to rest and enjoy the hotel accommodations.  With the clear water in the Adriatic Sea next to the hotel, Tony took a dip in the Adriatic Sea.  It was a little bit cold, therefore, he only stayed for abut 20 minutes. After the dipping in Adriatic Sea, we spent sometime in the patio cafe next to seaside to enjoy a cup of cappuccino. Life is good!

We went to downtown to have a farewell dinner at Mimoza (recommended by our tour guide).  Dinner was good, however, we experienced a new thing here.  When we got our bill, we found out that there was a 20 Kuna per person of napkins and silverware usage charge.  That was our first time experience on this kind of charges.
