With a new gorgeous half-day to explore Dubrovnik on our own, we ate a late breakfast in the old city and then four of us opted for the self-guided, full mile-long walking loop of the City Walls, with its towers and fortresses that protected the Republic for centuries, keeping it independent.
Walking above the city also removed us from the throngs of big cruise ship visitors' midday arrival.
The loop took us a good hour and a half, replete with their panoramic views, numerous picture taking stops, and, of course, a little shopping.
Be sure to allow 1-2 hours to make the loop. Due to a time constraint, we did not purchase the additional museum stops.
Also, we knew we would be having a guided city tour the next day with the other yacht passengers.
Our eyes and feet were busy enough.
One could definitely see the historic layers of the city.
We even spoke with folks sitting out on their balconies enjoying their morning coffee, basking in the sun, visiting with us passersby.
Everybody was so friendly.
I 'll spare you the lush Mediterranean botanicals for another day. Wink, wink.
Small craft docking marked the halfway mark from where we started.
We knew timewise we would make it back in time...so there was time
for a nice cold drink before returning to the condo where our Uber would take us with our luggage to our new abode for the next week...
Here's to a half day well spent in paradise...
Jivily : Cheers !
