Day 140 – EU – Croatia [Rest Day in Dubrovnik]

11/07/20

 Rest day in Dubrovnik (Croatia, Europe)

Rest day with the family in Dubrovnik – taking in all the sights and the relaxing atmosphere of a touristic city devoid of… tourists

As the morning sun was fully out it was time to head out with the family and hit the Old Town. We started out with a tour of the city on the Walls of Dubrovnik. Going up and down the stairs on a full tour of the enclaved town. The views from up there were absolutely stunning. We marveled at the beauty and architectural unity of the city. And the awesome views all along of course.

Saint Blaise Church, Cathedral of the Assumption, Rector’s Palace, Clock Tower, Domenican and Franciscan Monasteries. We moved with ease in this historically rich and tourists deprived city.

Dubrovnik Summer Festival runs from 10th July to 25th August every year. Covid19 didn’t disrupt the tradition – though it may have been a record in terms of lowest attendance ever. The fireworks yesterday evening woke me and I crept out of my bedroom to check out what was happening – a fabulous event indeed!

Meeting with the family was also the opportunity to get new supplies that I had ordered online. I got tyres for BoB the stroller. The old ones were on their last leg, literally melted by hot tarmac and worned out beyond reasonable use. I also got more spare tubes and water jerricans. Right in time!

Tomorrow I’m headed out to Montenegro, with the family in tow, and seriously hoping to get the little ones to run a few kms by my side 🙂
