Day 32/33/34 Split, Dubrovnik, Cruise Day

Cruise Days 10,11 and 12.... As I am sure you are all aware, focus isn't one of my many talents, so with 13 other people distraction has been prevalent, hence why my blog is a little delayed. So here we go 3 days in 1.
Day 1. Split, Croatia... What can I say, absolutely nothing because it was too rough to use the tenders to get into port. Ok so that's that day knocked on the head! But here's a pic of what it would have looked like courtesy of Google

Day 2: Dubrovnik, Croatia. 
Up early today as this was another tour day that had been booked many moons ago. Ivo was our driver and what a bank of knowledge he was. First stop was the lookout where the cable cars went from.

Such a beautiful city and hard to believe that not all that long ago the Serbs had blown the crap out of it. We then went into the town, OMG, never have I seen so many people( tourists).
So many people that you almost need to be connected so as not to lose anyone. A beautiful city but too many people, great for the city as tourism is their resource. After the city we drove into the hills for some wine, cheese and olive oil tasting. We drove back via Ston, which has the second largest wall to China. Lunch in Ston was delicious, as it  is renowned for fresh seafood and has oyster and mussel farms in its pristine waters. So lunch was oysters natural, 300 mussels in their own weight of garlic, and some delicious seafood and squid ink risotto...YUM. We had to be back on the boat quite early so we hastily made our way back through the hills to our home for the last 11 days. Dubrovnik was another big surprise and a gorgeous city which would be worth a return visit someday.

Day 3: Cruise Day, a day at sea for relaxing, packing and just enjoying and reflecting on what has been a fantastic 12 days.
Today's highlight, passing a live volcano.
