Lokrum Island

We started to walk into Dubrovnik. Dubrovniks grey walls and red roofs were distinctive in the morning sun.

The water was clear and there were many agaves.

In Dubrovnik, We had chocolate scones at Café Glam and picked up sandwiches to go so we could have lunch on Lokrum Island. At the harbor, there were 4 departing boats, so we were lucky when we got on to the one to Lokrum. The boat had great views of Dubrovnik and the surrounding countryside.

 

The water around the island was clear and blue.

On the island, Sam and Mama took forever in the gift shop. When we finally got going, we found a peacock.

We walked through the walls of an old monistary, witch had cacti. It also had a maze to run through.

 

Sam in the maze.

The succulents.

We headed through the orchard to the botanic garden. On the way, we saw a pea hen and a baby pea cock.

In the botanical garden, they had invasive plants from other metetterainian climates. Some of wich came from Santa Barbará and Cape Town. They had a lot of succulents!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also saw a pea cock on our way out of the botanical gardens.

 

We walked to the other side of the island and to a beautiful trail.

At the top of the hill, there was a French Fort.

On top of the Fort, there was a gorgeous scenery.

 

We walked down to the water, where we swam in the calm blue water and ate lunch on the terribly rough dolomite (the same rock we sat on to watch the rinos). While we swam, we saw 2 submarines go by. We walked through the pine forests back to the olive grove where we had ice cream. After we were done, we went down to the beach and swam in the rough not-as-pleasant waves. While we were coming out of the water, I cut my toe deep in some dolomite. At the pier on the island, there was a pea cock making crying noises and nibbling our toes. There also was a timid black bunny. We got on the boat and took it back to the mainland. Back in Dubrovnik, we walked to the other side of the city.

Then we walked down side streets asking if they had any dinner. We found one that did.

Clara's food.

My food.

Sams food.

The city had a show of lights…
