nik-ed off: Croatia Sailing: Dubrovnik

Feeling refreshed, today we set sail for the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, Dubrovnik.

I made it to my second breakfast in a row – great start – and spent the morning lying out on the boat reading a book and listening to music with our new friends.

Ahh the serenity.

We ate lunch on the boat and by afternoon we were docked and walking through the medieval streets of Dubrovnik.

It was stunning. Old buildings built from limestone and marble, laneways filled with shops and cafes, and of course the old city walls.

I'm the king of the world on a boat like Leo

We walked along the city walls stretching nearly 2km around the town, treated to stunning views of the ocean and surrounding land. The landscape was impressive and the weather was hot! It was our first really hot day, can I get a hallelujah!

It was so hot in fact we had to find somewhere to sit out of the sun and enjoy a cold drink.

Hi yes I'll have a Sprite please

Hello a bit of service here?

Fiiiine, I'll wait

Dubrovnik has been known in the past for its maritime trade, so we explored the Old Town and found somewhere to sit overlooking the boats, and I was lucky enough to spot another dolphin. Winner!

Back to the boat for an early Happy Hour it was time to get ready for the big night ahead.

It turns out our tour guide Adam is an aspiring rapper, and goes by the name of Agenda MC. We convinced him to bust out some beats before heading into town – he was great! Watch this space.

Great looking bunch

We ate a lovely dinner in the Old Town, but everyone was busting to get out and get the night started.

We began at Galerie, where we drank cocktails from buckets, later known as cockets. The Thai Bucket was a favourite, filled with Red Bull, vodka and Thai mix.

Yummy.

Fair to say shit got cray.

There's a hole in my bucket dear Eliza, dear Eliza

Then fix it dear Henry

The Wolfpack does Dubrovnik, and glow sticks

After drinking more buckets than we could remember we were off to the club Revelin for some dancing.

Fair to say shit got cray-er.

There were dancing in cages, dancing on couches, people buying whole bottles of vodka, bartenders throwing fire, more dancing and just general craziness.
