Croatian a cappella singing tradition - klapa music |
Heading back down the Stradun - can you feel that sun's heat reflecting off the stone? |

This performance and these songs brought me to tears. They reminded me of my own grandpap with his Polish/Slavic origins. He played guitar, accordion and mouth harp and was an amazing musician. These vocal harmonies are so powerfully moving.
Our final goodbye to Dubrovnik - the old port and Mount Srd in the background |
Michael and I had dinner inside again tonight, rather than out on the lido deck. A great Caprese salad; roasted chicken for me, grilled salmon for Michael; and yoghurt lime savarin tart with berry sorbet for desert. We were treated to a beautiful orange-red sunset at the end of our meal, and the waxing moon and stars soon followed. We departed close to midnight, escorted out of the port area by the pilot boat - on our way to Montenegro tomorrow.
