Mediterranean Climate
Dubrovnik and the Mediterranean climate here are so beautiful, I’m at a loss for words. Still in orientation mode learning my way around and getting used to the steep hills and stone steps. Hopefully, within a few days I’ll be moving faster. Today was slow, and it’s noticeable that after the New Year celebration many tourists have departed.
Food
My small apartment is cozy and private. Best of all it’s a great vantage point for sunrises and sunsets! The biggest problem is maintaining a healthy diet and finding restaurants and markets where I can eat or buy food to prepare. Markets were closed today. Most restaurants serve delicious food, but many are super expensive. A happy medium is necessary and on an extended trip finding the right food takes time.
Tomorrow I’ll make plans for walking tours and more exploring. Montenegro and Bosnia are near, so day trips are easy and on the agenda.
Dubrovnik Cable Car
Dubrovnik has a cable car – the only one on the Adriatic coast. The cable car runs between Old City and the peak of Mount Srdj. It doesn’t run as often in the winter, but I saw it running today, so it’s definitely on the list!
My photography doesn’t do the vistas justice, but a few photos of Old City and the neighborhood surrounding my apartment are attached. More later…
