Merelle sent a note: She & Gary were going to drive to Dubrovnik to pick up a new head sail and would we like to come along? We had plenty of boat chores to do before leaving for the season, but after a quick check of the calendar (yay, we had been out of the Schengen zone for 90 days), but of course we were going!
The drive from Tivat isn’t bad, a little over two hours along meandering roads. The forecast of pouring rain turned out to be light showers that let up when we arrived. We had a great time meeting John and May, who run a yacht consulting business in Croatia (and who had found the sail). Really looking forward to next year when they come to the marina to give a presentation about tips and tricks for cruising in Croatia). Gary and Merelle had the jib loaded into the car trunk, and off we went.
Despite the chilly weather, we were thrilled to be in Dubrovnik post high season when all the crowds were gone. The old town is massive, far bigger than Kotor and Budva, and we only had a taste of it.
Several films have been shot here including several iconic scenes of the series Game Of Thrones. Being as popular as it was, there were lots of Game of Thrones merchandise shops here . More importantly there was a really good ice cream shop and I could indulge in a scoop of pistachio bliss. We can’t wait to come back and explore more next year.
