Dubrovnik: A Boat ride to Cavtat

Friday after walking the wall we hopped on a boat for a trip to Cavtat, a coastal town about 15km from Dubrovnik.

The boat ride was a nice change on a hot day with the breeze from the sea.  It took about an hour to get there, but it was worth it.

Cavtat from the boat
Cavtat is a tiny little town with lots of restaurants and souvenir shops.  It's on a peninsula, and from the town, you can walk around the peninsula to see beautiful views of the Agean see from all directions.

Cavtat also had a bunch of beautiful rocky beaches to walk on.


 When we got back to Dubrovnik, we walked around a bit before heading back to the hotel for an afternoon nap.  We saw a lot of cats getting ready for an afternoon nap (or snack) as well.






Even though we were tired from a big morning, we decided that on the way back we'd climb up the fortress to see the city from another angle.

It was worth the climb, but after a day of walking we certainly needed a break!

After a shower and a nap we were ready to head back down for some evening sight-seeing and an italian dinner at Pizzeria Toni, which was delicious.
