Sewerage problems and Dubrovnik

FELIX

Day 85: Today we were meant to spend another day on the boat, but there were some sewerage problems.

Our bathrooms didn't work, and there was poo coming out onto the deck, everyone agreed that we end the trip early and go to Dubrovnik.

We saw a tall hill on the uber ride to our airbnb, and on the other side, at the hill was Bosnia and Herzegovina. We went for pizza for dinner, but the bad thing was that our airbnb had no wifi.

Day 86: Today, I was starving in the morning, but, thanks to my lucky shell that dad found on the ocean floor, mum took us out for breakfast and we got one and a half jam doughnuts!

We bought tickets to walk around the old town walls, we stopped for a drink halfway, and it was a few kilometres but I made it.

We went to a famous fortress that was features in "Game of thrones" as a lot of it was based on Dubrovnik, and there are a lot of "official licensed merchandise" stores for it everywhere.

For the rest of the day we just relaxed until having dinner and going to bed.

The last day we paid 30 euros for a 5 minute ferry to Lokrum island.

We went to a throne in Game of Throes called the Iron Throne, which was a throne made out of welted swords. That's a lot of swords!

We saw a bunch of peacocks, and I saw one with their tail up. Unfortunately though, it was female, so it didn't have any colours. I went on a merry go round in a playground and remained motion sick until dinner.

We also went to the beach, and like everywhere in Croatia, there were seas urchins everywhere. The change rooms made we uncomfortable because there were no doors, and anyone could walk behind and see you naked.

We also had lunch, and then walked to a well called "Charlotte's well". We aged for ages and walked past this weird circle on the ground. We walked for another 10 minutes, and dad looked up the well and apparently the big weird circle on the ground was actually the well. It was a massive circle with a circumference about 25m it was a meter deep, and no water in sight...

After another ferry home (It was a miracle I did vomit because of the merry go round), we went to the duck shop, and finally, I got a duck!! We had dinner at a Bosnian restaurant called Taj Mahal, and went home. We had an early start tomorrow.

PS Apparently they also filmed part of Star Wars and the Lost Jedi here.
