We made a port of call in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Not knowing much about Croatia, we were excited to see what they had to offer. The water in the Adriatic Sea was like nothing, the color was absolutely magnificent. Our ship was not able to dock at the port, so we had to take tender ships back and forth. This takes time and is a little inconvenient, but it makes it all worth while once you get to the shore. The landscape is beautiful. We had a 45 minutes drive up the coast, which allowed us to admire all of the surroundings that Croatia had to offer.
After our bus trip along the coast, we were dropped off at a place that had kayaks available for us to go on the sea. Kayaking on the Adriatic Sea was quite fun. We were able to kayak around for about 45 minutes, they also offered us coffee and apple pie. The apple pie was different then pie I have had before, it seems they put the whole apple in to make the pie. I found this out because there were seeds and stems in the pie. Just be warned, watch what you are eating.
After kayaking, we went to Dubrovnik Old City. The old city is a huge tourist area, there are many shops within the city walls. You can buy all sorts of things, ice cream, pizza, clothes, etc. The old city is quaint and has many interesting buildings. Definitely do not to miss going by the harbour and walking around the outside of the walls near the water. It is a gorgeous site looking out into the sea, while the water crashes at your feet. The currency in Croatia is the Kuna, but most shops in the Old City took Euros, and some even took US dollars.
If you get the chance, take a trip to Dubrovnik and Croatia. They are gearing their economy towards tourism, which means they are offering many attractions for visitors to their country. Dubrovnik as a tourist destination is a hidden gem.
