After taking the cable car back down to Dubrovnik we headed back to our apartment to shower and change before going to dinner in Old Town. Found an outdoor restaurant in one of the squares and had a delicious seafood dinner of octopus salad, mussels and shrimp risotto (Croation risotto is white rice!!!). We strolled around the town taking a few pictures before finishing the evening with a cappucino and brandy. Another wonderful day in Dubrovnik.
Caught a spectacular sunset setting behind Old Town Dubrovnik from our balcony
The Rector's Palace built in 1435 had to be restored in 1463 after an explosion and again in 1667 after the earthquake. It was the home of the Rector of Dubrovnik (head of the Government) who was elected for a one-month term and had to live in the Palace, away from his family and could not leave unless on official business.
Modelled after Rome's Spanish Steps, this sweeping staircase leads to the 18th Century Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius
Geoff contemplating where Rita would like to go after dinner. Home or to a cafe for cappucino and brandy. Hmmmm.
The Stradun sparkles during a light rainfall while we are enjoying our cappucino and brandy
