You know I really got a thing for European guys...

Yesterday was a great day. I know I didn’t post last night, but I had too much fun and was too tired to post. Morning went the usual way, woke up and had breakfast (though we ate in the restaurant downstairs instead of the buffet). 
Sailed past a lighthouse.


We pulled into Dubrovnik around 7:30am. We were going to wait a bit but decided last minute to leave early (kind of an oxymoron, I know). 

We took the shuttle bus into the Old Town. First impression of Dubrovnik is that it is a very clean and beautiful city. 

The Old Town was amazing!!! Old Town, is just that, an old town. It’s a walled city dating back from forever ago. 


It cost 70 Kuna or 10 euro to walk the wall around the city. 


We went up just long enough to take some pictures


And realize too many steps were involved for an increasingly hot day. 

We walked around the city some more, grabbed the necessary ice cream (I managed to get ice cream/gelato in every country and every sea), and had drinks near a really cool farmer’s market in the main square. 


We shopped a bit at the farmer's market (they had great candied nuts). And took an early bus back to our ship. I grabbed a few more hours of sun (at one point rolling over in my chair to see boobs: Europeans, if there is one thing they’re not, it’s modest). Then came time for the farewell reception for Auto-Owners. During the reception, there are free drinks, based on my new found love for the Miami Vice, I got one to have during the reception and another one to take to dinner with me. When we got to our restaurant, someone had taken our table. Being the last night on the cruise, I was bummed the waiter from Montenegro wouldn’t be our waiter again. We found another table nearby and were joined by the other two couples we ate dinner with most of the trip. Lo and behold, we had the same waiter! Dinner was a blast; one of the most entertaining meals we had on the trip. After dinner, we had an hour before the show, in which we were all going to meet on the left side of the stage, a few rows back. Well, of the 6 people at dinner, only 3 of us made it. It was alright though, the show pretty much sucked. And I’m pretty sure the lead singer forgot some of the words to Bohemian Rhapsody. I was so tired from the day that I passed out as soon as I got to bed. Today was a long day, so I was planning ahead :)
