| Looking south from our hotel - cruise ships and sailboats galore |
Friday, July 1 - Trip Day 2
First day of arrival is always tough from jet lag. I took a little nap in the afternoon for a few hours, while Michael went swimming in the saltwater pool and the sea. As we ate an early dinner, we decided to go for a walk into the historic part of Dubrovnik.
There are so many beautiful and evocative vistas, it's easy just to stop and gawk for a while. Especially as the colors of the light, sky and water changed throughout the day and into the evening

 |
| The Karaka is a smaller replica of the original carracks - but still very impressive |
 |
| As you can see, kayaking is very popular in this region |

| It's hot today and the beaches are very popular |
