Dubrovnik

Our last stop of the cruise was a stop in the mideaval city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. It was a relaxing day as we just strolled through the streets of the old city behind the huge walls. It was beautiful.
Pillars of Rector's Palace.
Brad in front of Church of St. Blasius. In this church is a very detailed statue of Jesus hanging on the cross. Broderick was very concerned about Jesus and all his "owies".
Fiona, myself and the kids standing on the main street through town, Placa.
Broderick was excited to see an old fishing boat, of course he thought it was a pirate's ship.
A picture from on top of the old city wall looking over the Placa. The town is known for its red tile roofs.

There's Fiona watching the kids while we were walking on top of the wall. They're sitting by Onofrio's fountain, which is a 16 sided water fountain from the 14oos. You can still drink out of it.

This was the end of the cruise for us. The next morning we would be back in Venice and off the boat. It really was a great time and a relaxing way to travel to different sites. And ... it gave me some of the hot weather that I was missing back in the midwest.

  1. Wow - looks amazing! So glad you guys had a great time. Darren and I are already talking about maybe taking a similar trip or at least a trip to Greece. We were bummed that we weren't able to go when we were living over there. Will just have to go now! :)
