We just left there!!! Unfortunately a new city ordinance passed very recently has forced the closure and removal of the bar - but people can bring their own drinks 

 

 

 

Wow.  Unfortunate.  But at least you saw it.  

It wasn't the fanciest - wine served in plastic cups, but we didn't care.  

Can't wait to hear about your guys next stop!!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Amen, brother

you can buy a calendar of the fat street cats of Dubrovnik. Archibald is your cover boy 

 

[TxTeach79]

Walnut aperitif - this was delicious 

 

[TxTeach79]

Now we’re done with the tour and headed back to the shuttle with about 45 to spare. 
 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Perfect timing! We were two of the last on a full shuttle back to Gruz Pier and the Pearl

Stop two. Fantastic. 
 

 

 

 

 

Tavulin Bistro looks like foodie food!  Octopus looks fresh-caught!  That's parma ham, not prosciutto, right?  I see it's recognized by Michelin.  On TA it's #60 of 353 restaurants in Dubrovnik - sometimes these hidden gems outshine the top ten in my experience.  Buon Appetito!

"What time is it?"

 

"Ten minutes to always"

 

"Cool...just 10 more minutes until pizza"

Looks like one of those truly memorable food tours that outshine most.  You kind of melted into the day, yes?  So happy for you and B.  Thanks for sharing Dubrovnik, you elevated its' standing in my "must visit" places and that food tour looks like a must for me.  Is Dubrovnik small enough that you feel you got a good "walking tour" with summary of the city?  Or is it a big enough place you suggest a HOHO bus?  I noticed the beautiful, ancient yet clean walkways along with the charming architecture.  And the food!

I could do some grade A floating and disassociating today 

As long as the disassociating doesn't include the 🦬 at the various bars onboard, all should be good.

..some 10 year old absolutely blitzed the field. All I could do is wish he was in my class…

But if he was in your class, the odds would increase that he could possibly see you on a future cruise.

Made it to the gates of Old Town. Cell service is at a crawl, bear with me. It’s packed down here, that could be it 

 

 

 

 

It's the same crowd who was partying at 3:00 am the other day.  Party P and his peeps.

Cheesy risotto with bits of scrambled eggs and bacon?

Honestly, any sort of vehicle would be almost a hindrance in the old town where all the great restaurants are. It’s an exceptionally walkable town. You just need a vehicle to get to and from old town

yes, the door was open which means it’s open to the public, no cost or pass needed
