Our youngests and blondest Christien arrived with his best friend Brad, for a 5-day visit, which was really nice! They’re not really beach bums, so they mixed things up. We had a couple of days in Dubrovnik, well we did the days with them and they did the nights! They walked the walls, as gettingContinue reading “Guests in town, great views & long walks.”

I thought that I’d l give a little bit more of an insight into Cavtat (pronounced “Tsavtat”), where we have now decided to extended our stay to around the 20th November. The village, well more specifically for us the harbour, is crescent shaped and bordered by the Adriatic on either side. It houses some beautifulContinue reading “In and around Cavtat”

Rachel and I are both partial to live music, so whilst we were in Dubrovnik over the weekend we discovered a 15th century church that had leant itself to a classical recital. Arriving on Monday evening, with tickets in hand, we ventured inside this magical building and were greeted with an intimate (28 people) setting,Continue reading “A classical treat!”

We’re still in this weather depression thing, but we weren’t going to let it dampen our spirits and decided to take a water taxi into Dubrovnik, it’s the best way to enter the old city. It was a pretty choppy 40 minute crossing, but I managed to take a few snaps on the way over.Continue reading “Dubrovnik lunch and walk about.”

We had our first storm roll in last night, with some incredible lightning which illuminated the bay, it really was quite beautiful! It rained solidly through the night and hasn’t abated all day. We amused ourselves with some light reading and a little Netflix. I did get bored about 3pm and decided go for aContinue reading “Wet Play!”

After taking a stroll into town to pick up the catch of the day, we decided to grab a couple bikes to take a look around at the ocean facing side of the island and after a few wrong turns we found a path that took us leisurely around the bay. Most of the beechesContinue reading “Took a couple of bikes out.”

I got up just before 6:00am, to one of the many faces of the bay & within the space of an hour, or so, you can see the sun starting to make its way across the left side of the bay. I took a stroll downtown to get some fresh fruit and veg from theContinue reading “Monday 4th”

This is where we’ve decided is a good place for the daily swim, there’s a few jetty’s to dive in from, or you can wade in from a small beach a little further down. I’m sure it’s busier in the warmer months but at the mo, it’s nice and quiet. We’re still recovering from ourContinue reading “A good place for a swim, the Dalmatian Adriatic.”

youtube.com/watch Rach & I really enjoy playing tennis & when we’re away we always look for somewhere to play. So we were pleased to discover the Cavtat tennis club in the grounds of the Iberostar Albatross hotel, which I believe has been closed since the start of COVID. What’s amazing is how quickly it’s fallenContinue reading “Cavtat Tennis Club”

I brought a gimbal the day before we left the UK & only unboxed it when we arrived. It was the first time I’d ever seen one, so I ummed & ahhed as to whether or not to put the video out there, but as it was taken before we messed the place up, IContinue reading “Cavtat apartment – show round.”
