After a quick early morning nap, we ate a good breakfast and walked down through the old city to the port. We hopped on a boat to the island of Lokrum, a green island with lots of trees and paths, no cars, a monastery and a fortress.
This boat ride was much quicker than the ride to Cavtat, and in 15 minutes we were roaming the island. The first thing we heard was a bunch of squaking- the island was filled with peacocks!

After feeding the peacocks and taking lots of pictures, we stopped at the "Dead Sea," a cute little "lake" in the middle of the island with cool sea water.
Then it was on to the rocky coast for some climbing and awesome views of Dubrovnik.
We walked through the botanical garden and saw the monastery.
Before heading back to the "beach" for lunch, we climbed a giant hill up to the fortress for the best views of Dubrovnik and the Croatian coast.

We were exhausted after trekking around the island, and after lunch it was nice to relax on the boat ride back to the city.

We headed back to the city for our last roam around Dubrovnik and found dinner at the Taj Mahal, which unlike the name suggests, was actually a pretty authentic Croatian restaurant. We had "bureks," a traditional pastry filled with meat, spinach, potatoes or cheese (we got some of each). Our evening wouldn't have been complete without ice cream and some photos of the seaside at night.

It was a great last day in Dubrovnik.
