Friday, May 18, 2012 -  Brac to Dubrovnik.  Our trip down the Dalmatian coast.   Friday morning dawned cold and rainy.  After getting up with the chickens (well sort of – see photo).  We said good bye to Valentino, walked past the small shrine that guards and blesses the Tomic property and drove down the mountain for a brief stop at the beach.   (See Photos)   

The stormy weather closed the closest ferry, so we drove back to Stupetar for the ferry back to the mainland and a drive down the Dalmatian coast.   The closing of the ferry added several hours to our travel time and Guy’s driving.   But we got to walk around Split for a short while. There are two photos of a little white car that is about 100 years old.  Look closely at the hood in the second photo..a most unique way to keep the motor safe.  

We ooh and aaahhh! Our way down the coast, as the scenery is exquisite and changes continually from gardens, to mountains, to coastline.   So rather than describe it, this blog entry will be mainly self-explanatory photos of the countryside.   

We got to the walled city of Old Dubrovnik and met Nevena, the owner of the Abjanic apartments where we stayed in a 400 year old house for three nights.   The wall of one of the bedrooms was part of the wall around the city.  Our apartment was up several narrow alleys (see photos) which is the case for much of the housing in the city.   

We arrived in time for a concert in the square and a warm welcome from  Nevena.  All of us were delighted with our quarters and looked forward to spending 3 nights in the same location.   

This was a travel day, so photos are much better than words to share our day.
