On My Way To Split
Dubrovnik does not have a railway station, so it was a ferry to Split.
It certainly wasn’t the typical Mediterranean rust-bucket, that I’ve encountered in Greece and Italy, but a modern high-speed catamaran, that had been built in Australia.
The only problem was that the boat wasn’t big enough, for the large number of passengers going to Split from the islands. But this is to be expected, as it was the only boat on the day I travelled.
Walking The Walls Of Dubrovnik
I took these pictures as I walked the walls of Dubrovnik.
Note.
- I started at the Western end, soon after the walls opened at eight o’clock.
- There was a couple of cafes at the halfway point, where I had a coffee.
- I didn’t walk it fast and I took about two and a half hours
- The stairs in the hotel were the more difficult climb.
As you can start at more than one place, a ticket that allowed you to break the walk might seem a good idea. But then you’d have to climb back up again.
I think that my plan of taking it slow early in the morning, when it was not crowded and a bit cooler, might be the best way to walk the walls.
Beware Of Hotels In The Old City Of Dubrovnik
I took these pictures of my hotel room in the Old City of Dubrovnik.
I get the impression, reading some of the things said about hotels in Dubrovnik, that this is not the only hotel with a nice, spacious rooms and a staircase not for those of a nervous disposition.
