Panoramic views and sea kayaking
Pastry breakfast – 28 kuna, $5 |
I then took the cable car to Mt. Srd, which looks above the city. It has some beautiful views and it cost 120 kuna for a round trip ticket. Instead of staying at the cable car station at the top, I hiked about 1/2 mile on the road going back down to get some better views.

Got me this view – full size available here: http://i.imgur.com/F3tf83G.jpg |
Wish we had these in the states |
40 kuna, or $7 |
We paddled around Lokrum island, stopping in one cove and them we rounded ‘sausage beach’ with plenty of sunbathers of a certain gender – sorry, no pictures of that.
Sea kayaking was 230 kuna, or $40 – definitely worth it! |
We then paddled back to where we started about 2.5 hours earlier. I went back to my hostel and showered, then grabbed my camera and set out again.
For dinner I went to a Bosnian restaurant named the Taj Mahal. This restaurant comes highly recommended from a number of different sources, including the girl working the front desk of my hostel. And despite being Bosnian, this is considered one of the better street restaurants in Dubrovnik.
I ordered the cevapi, grilled vegetables, and a beer. The food was very flavorful and the service was quick, but not overbearing. I want to get one nice meal in each city I visit, and this is what I chose for Dubrovnik.
230 kuna – $35 |
After dinner, I took the cable car to the top of Mt. Srd again to get some nighttime pictures. I decided not to tour the museum, I’ll do one tomorrow instead.
I stopped by a restaurant at the top and got a table right near the edge which had some great panoramic views. I got some drinks – a mai tai, then a mojito. After taking in the view, I took the cable car back to the Old Town. I walked the Stradun and got some more ice cream. Ice cream scoop count: 4. Days traveling: 2
Tomorrow i don’t really have anything planned. I need to look into getting bus ticket when I leave on Tuesday, but other than that, I’m pretty open.
It’s going great so far!
That cevapi looks delicious and the photos are equally impressive. Trust that you are enjoying your travels. Be safe and have a blast.Best,Honore
