Saturday 27th October 2007

The bad weather has finally caught up with us and there was a lot of rain during the night. The morning dawned with grey overcast skies and showers. We had planned to walk around the Babin Kuk peninsular on which the campsite was located and, as it was not actually raining when we met Ann and Nick, we decided to go ahead. Luckily, although it continued to be dull and overcast, it didn't rain on us and we had an interesting walk including watching a large cruise liner arrive and dock under the Dubrovnik bridge. We then continued our walk round the bay to Gruz and its fruit, vegetable, flowers and fish market. The fish market was closing but the other parts were in full swing.
We chose a small restaurant next to the market for lunch. We all chose fish in one form or another and it was excellent.
We then caught a bus from Gruz into the old town and visited the War Photos Ltd exhibition. The current exhibition was about Lebanon and Israel during the recent conflict. The photographs, all taken by American journalists, were haunting and thought provoking. Not a word was said as we toured the gallery.
Our last evening of the holiday was spent at a small restaurant in the centre of the old town near the church of St. Blaise. The meal was good and we then wandered around the old town and harbour, all looking very pretty in the street lighting.
