On our last day of our sailing trip we
cruised to Dubrovnik with one last swim stop, a sail past the old town of
Dubrovnik, then we finished up at the marina, where we parted ways with the
skipper and the other girls from the boat. We made our way to our
accommodation, a last minute score at an apartment overlooking the water. We
made a little mistake of thinking our sail ended a day later, so we had to
quickly find another night’s accommodation. When we got there we made a
nutritious lunch, packed full of veggies; our bodies needed some loving after
all our drinking and eating out! We needed rest time, so we took it easy for
the afternoon.

The next morning, we had to slowly make our
way to the next accommodation in Dubrovnik, with four hours to kill in between
check out and check in time. We virtually did a café crawl, stopping along the
way to waste time before we could check in. We found ourselves a nice shady
spot in a café courtyard, and the hours passed quickly. We checked into our
Airbnb apartment and took in the amazing views, definitely our best yet! We had
an amazing courtyard overlooking the water and each room had sea views! A
family lives in the apartment during the winter months, so it had everything we
needed for our stay! We went the beach
later in the afternoon; a few minutes walk from our accommodation. It is unlike
any of the beaches we’ve been to so far. It’s a rocky beach, rather than pebbly
that you enter by either diving in off the rocks, or by the metal stairs, like
you would at a pool.
We were lucky enough to catch the full moon
on the first night, rising over the sea, which we had a perfect view of from
the apartment. We could see the old town to the left, the mountains in the
distance, the sea forever and to top if off, there was a pirate-like ship
sailing along under the moonlight.
We also checked out the old town, walking
through all the narrow streets and had some delicious Indian for dinner and
finished with ice cream.

The boys did some rock diving from just
near the apartment. We had some stairs right near the apartment that led down
to the sea, via a little bit of rock climbing.
We also checked out another beach just down
the road from where we’re staying. This one was beautiful (as if the other ones
weren’t)! It was a lovely green colour with a cave for exploring.
We walked along the city walls, about a 2
hour round trip around the old town of Dubrovnik. We waited until the afternoon
so it wasn’t too hot and in turn we got lovely golden light across the roofs of
the old town. It was a great walk, and a nice way to end our day, our trip and
our summer!
