It was much cooler today when we woke up.
It clouded over last night about 4.30pm and rained a few spots through the evening but it didn’t come to much, thankfully, unlike the forecast.
When I opened the sliding doors I was met with a cold wind. It’s been gusting up to 25mph all day.
Thankfully it’s still hot in the sun when you can get out the worst of the breeze.
I went for a run before breakfast this morning.
Of course I forgot to start Strava recording when I first started running…. Reckon I did between 5.5 – 6kms.
I’m really chuffed with that although I stopped to take loads of lovely views.
It’s a lovely path for running on, right by the sea.
The sun isn’t up over the mountains yet.
The sea is wild!! It’s soooo windy.
This is where we saw sunset the other night.
The Main Street in Cavtat is empty apart from everyone cleaning the restaurants.
That reminds me to say, this is one of the cleanest places we have ever been on holiday. It puts Scotland to shame, there is literally no rubbish anywhere. The streets are spotlessly clean.
The Jaguar super yacht is still docked in Cavtat although there’s been activity on it today. A whole lot of cleaning and repairs going on. When we arrived it was bashed up in the back left hand corner… (I’m sure there’s a more technical terminology for that part of a ship) they’ve repaired it over the last few days and now you would never know. A wealth of useless information, me. 😆
I love how the morning sun lights things up as it comes over the mountains.
These two cats are so well looked after. The owner of this balcony covers it with material to create shade when the sun is shining directly on it and the two cats lie on cushions on each chair.
Running back down towards the hotel.
What a beautiful morning… if blawin’ a hoolie!
Back to the hotel.
The view from the window… back to blue sky but you can tell how windy it is by the top of the Italian Cypress tree! (The dark green thin, tall tree)
We went down for breakfast after my shower and I had 3 courses!! I am not particularly enjoying eating that early but it saves us having to buy lunch so it makes complete sense. Three courses was maybe a bit much but hey…. Breakfast is free 😆
We went for a walk the opposite way from the hotel after breakfast. Here’s our hotel from the other side of the bay.
We then found this lovely sandy and stony beach but it was blowing a gale!! It still looks pretty.
We walked back round into Cavtat as I knew it was more sheltered there. It’s a north westerly wind which is blowing straight at us.
We found a little concrete section to sit out, out of the wind but near the sea. We sat here for a couple of hours and read.
Craig then wanted to watch ANOTHER 😆football match…. So we moved round the other side of the bay and he went to watch the game as I sat out in the sunshine.
This was my view. Cavtat is such a beautiful old town.
There are way worse places to spend a Sunday. I read my book and just watched the world go by. I’m so taken by the colours, the different blues, greens and the white buildings with orange roofs.
We finally got some sun on the balcony at 6pm tonight. Our balcony faces north west so we get the sea but not the sun. The rooms are the back get the sun but not the sea!
How pretty…..
We’ve already been out for dinner but honestly, it’s sooooo cold tonight.
We went to a restaurant really close to the hotel for pizza and a burger and I’m now sat on my bed with my joggies and a fleece on!!
Mr doesn’t feel the cold has the air con on low. I’m just so glad that my anxious packing saw these cold few days and packed some warmer clothes. It pays to be prepared!!
Back into Dubrovnik tomorrow.
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
