Dubrovnik, Croatia
May 28, 2005 Saturday we docked in Dubrovnik, Croatia

Thanks to the Rebuild Dubrovnik Fund, this marvelous city has been reclaimed as a United Nations World Heritage Site. We entered the city through the Pile Gate and visit the amazing courtyard of the Sponza Palace, known for its elaborate stone carvings. We saw the Dominican church and monastery, as well as the impressive Rectors Palace and the Church of St Blaise. The old city was delightful with its narrow streets and interesting buildings.

In the Konavle region, a 45-minute drive south of Dubrovnik, we spent an afternoon in an idyllic natural setting. At the Konavoski Dvori Restaurant, perfectly situated in an old water mill next to the Ljuta River, lunch on traditional delicacies. Local red and white wines, as well as bottled water, are included. This was a most delightful spot on the river.
