Dubrovnik or Bust

Dubrovnik or Bust

It’s our last day of cycling and today’s ride is going to ease us into Dubrovnik being only 12kms and mostly flat. We get to ride through the last of the grape and olive fields for one final time until we reach our coffee stop in the Port of Suđurađ.

What a quaint little village to visit today. We have about 30 minutes to walk around the bay to make sure we see everything before we leave. Janelle and I tick off all the stops in the first 5, maybe 10 minutes…this place is small. Beautiful, but small. I suppose that’s a lot of it’s charm though.

So charming that someone has purchased the old fort here for €5,000,000! And it’s a fixer upper!

Then it’s back to the boat, and as soon as we’re off our bikes, they’re on the boat. This crew moves like a well oiled machine – everyone knows the job that needs to be done. Before getting too far away, the Captain drops anchor to offer us one last chance to jump into the water here before we set sail.

And we’re off, to our final destination – Dubrovnik. I hope it’s still standing after the dragons!

Spoiler alert! Dubrovnik is still there in all it’s wonder. Our tour guide shows and tells us about a number of sights through the city, but it’s just whetting our appetite for our Game of Thrones walking tour tomorrow. This should be good.

They have such realistic statues here too!

What a beautiful sunset to close the day. This will never get old.
