Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is an awesome old city on the Adriatic coast.  The view doesn't get old and we've spent a good amount of time just enjoying it from our apartment, but we also obviously ventured out to see the sights.  I'll try to run through the highlights.  We took a ton of photos.  As I mentioned before a lot of Game of Thrones was filmed here and it's not hard to see why.  You can't walk around without humming the theme song.


There are so many cats here.  You can't walk around without encountering some.  This one lives across from our apartment and was very friendly.


Another thing that is unavoidable in Dubrovnik is steps.  There are steps everywhere. Depending on which way you go, it's about 400-500 steps to where we are staying from old town.  Makes for a good work out.


You can walk around the top of the old city walls.  It's fun and provides some great views.  This is the old town from the walls.


Wall selfie!


A view along the wall.  The tower there is the highest point of the walls and where Daenerys was wandering around looking for the House of the Undying.


Another view along the walls.


Here's us on the walls with Fort Lovrijenac in the background on the left.  In King's Landing that's also Blackwater Bay behind us.


Here's a view of the walls from inside Fort Lovrijenac from the last picture.


A sweet view of the fort and Blackwater Bay from the other side.


Part of Gradac which is a park where the Purple Wedding reception was filmed.  I don't think we found the exact place but it was fun to walk around.


We finished up the day with a game of cribbage outside Lovrijenac.
