One of the things I like the best is to be up at the front of the ship and watch us sailing into the ports. Dombrovnik, a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. It's prosperity was based on maritime trade reaching a high level of development during the 15 and 16th centuries, notable for its wealth and diplomacy.
It is a medieval Mediterranean walled city which withstood many many attacks over the years from many enemies. There are 1940m of defensive walls that completely encircle the city with 5423 steps.
We went through Pile Gate built in 1537, into the Old Town.
We had a short rainstorm but on sunny days you can walk all around the town on top of the walls.
There were museums, churches, businesses along the marble streets.
Today Dubrovnik is the most prosperous, elegant and expensive city in Croatia. The surrounding beaches and warm water are beautiful.
When you leave the pier, you can take Tuk-Tuks for a panoramic tour and go to the fictional captial King's Landing in the "Game of Thrones".
The Franjo Tudman Bridge, named to honour the country's first President, is a beautiful, modern structure, the most expensive in Croatia.
A little church in the midst of lcoal houses.
Our entertainment tonight was a magic show by Mistika and was incredible.
