Look at all the roofs!
Pictures of Dubrovnik and walking around the wall
Today we went into the old town and walked around the walls of the city. The gates of the city are foretified. The walls are inland and along the coastline were large cliff faces leading down to the crystal blue adriatic sea. The day was beautifully sunny about 26oC and no wind. Inside the walls are a myriad of narrow pathways that have loads of restaurants and lots of tiny churches as back in the day each noble fmaily had their own church! We had a look around a couple of monastaries and a palace. Notice the different colourd roofs in the picutres (when they come), this was from when Dubronik was bombed in 1991 and rebuilt. The middle of the old town is Luza square with the clock tower and in the front a flagple called Orlando's column. it was erected in 1418. The walls and forteresses were also built in the 15th century. The church behind to column is St Blaise, he is their patron saint and his head is enclosed in a jewled crown in another cathedrals treasury, along with his leg and hand. These are paraded down the city once a year on February 3rd for Saints Day!
We enjoyed a lovely and cheap mussell risotto for luch and mussels again for dinner! Before dinner we found ourselves a fancy bar overlooking the port whre we spent 3hrs sipping cocktails and lazing in the sun on bean bags! What a day! Who could ask for more!
