Andrew & Vera Waldby - Fine & Warm
Today was our bus transfer from Split to Dubrovnik. We had a 400m walk down to the bus station with all of our bags. We caught the bus to Dubrovnik enjoying the scenery along the way with the normal 30min drive through Bosnia.
This time we stayed just outside of Old Town Dubrovnik in Apartments Mia just outside Pile Gate. Had to lug the bags up a number of steps (didnt count this time) again and was quite disappointment that, for the first time in Croatia, lthe owner did not come to meet us nor did he offer to meet us with our bags. We stayed in a room on the top floor of this house which had a brilliant view looking back on fort and the bay just outside the walls of Old Town. The location was great but the room left a lot to be desired. The owner didnt hesitate to tell us that Oprah Winfrey wanted to buy his property, because of its location.
In the evening we went walking through a different part of Old Town Dubrovnik where we discovered another part of Old Town that we hadnt ventured into before. Little winding alleys, bars and cafes tucked away just inside the southern wall.
