this past weekend, bobby and i dropped off the bear to grandma & grandpa's house and took off for croatia.
we were able to book an apartment right on a little harbor. it was so great to be so close to the water. in the evenings, bobby and i would walk down, sit on a little dock, and let our feet dangle in the water. we could also walk into town for dinner and we had dinner at the same restaurant twice! bobby swore they had the best pizza. i loved that it was a rooftop restaurant that overlooked a port. so pretty!
we could also walk to the copacabana beach from our apartment. this is meant to be one of the nicest beaches in the area. the water is so blue it's almost unbelievable. so scenic. i spent most of my time in the lounge chairs reading. bobby preferred being in the water and that was fun to watch, too. they also had an obstacle course in the water that a lot of kids and teens were attempting. bobby was drooling but didn't want to be the only adult, ha.
we took a cab into the old city of dubrovnik one day. this place was stunning. you could walk the walls of the city. i felt like some of the staircases going up the walls would never end but it was worth it. the views were amazing and the overall experience of it was cool. apparently some of the scenes from 'a game of thrones' were shot here. i've never seen the show but a lot of people were talking about it as we were on the walls. when you come off the walls, there's a little port with tons of tour boats that head out to the islands. we didn't do a tour (motion sickness hits this girl strong) but we did walk around the port. there was a spot where you could walk on a bit of a wall that went into the sea. waves constantly come up crashing against this wall. tourists love to stand there and either try to dodge the waves or stand there and take the waves. bobby dodged a few but a giant one got him as he turned away. he spent much of the afternoon soaked after that. we ate generous amounts of gelato, played with a few stray cats, and nonessential souvenirs as any good tourist in dubrovnik should do before heading back to our apartment.
i wish we had more time in this fascinating city. it was a perfect little getaway in the perfect little city with my perfect husband.
all my love,
E
