Dubrovnik, Croatia

Here we are at the old gate to the walled city. Today we took a bus to the old city as it was way too far to walk. Today’s temperature when we left was only 83. And yet the temperature continued to climb through out the day. It started out really nice. This is where the Game of Thrones was filmed but we did not take that tour. There were so many steps and once you got up above everyone you walked in the bright sun (there was no shade). It just sounded horrible to me and since I didn’t watch Game of Thrones.

It was a great day in town. We met up with Christy and Leeman and the kids and Shelley. The kids weren’t loving it and wanted to go back to the ship so we took them and Shelley back to the boat on the bus. We got real lucky because one bus was pulling away and the next one coming in so we were first on board.

We took the kids to the pool. Of course they had to check out the buffet first. The boys had ice cream and cakes and all kids of sweets. Sefina grabbed pizza, steamed dumplings and a slice of watermelon. The pool wasn’t as refreshing as the one at the vineyard but it still felt good.

The kids slowly deserted us and headed off to play with their cousins so we meandered back to our rooms. The rest of the group wanted to go to the dining room instead of the buffet but John and I opted to see what the buffet had to offer. After eating we, John and I, went up to deck 11 to watch the sunset. Another beautiful sight. The kids all came up and we sat in the lounge and then headed for the Whitney Houston impersonator. She was amazing. I didn’t think anyone could do her justice–I was wrong.
