We spent a full day exploring the old town (Stari Grad) of Dubrovnik. We started early leaving before 7 am to beat the tour groups and cruise ships - was a really good idea as we pretty much had the walled town to ourselves for the first couple of hours. Walking the cobbled streets early morning was wonderful and then when the gates opened at 8 am we were straight up on the walls of the city do walk the full loop. This was another good idea - again beating the crowds but also beating the heat! Amazing views all the way around the walls over the sea and across the red tiled roofs.

Midday saw us breaking for a swim from under the walls at the harbour front which was much needed in the heat. Such amazing clear water also. In the afternoon we headed up Mt Srd (pronounced sort of like Surdj) on the cable car to enjoy fine views of the coast and a welcome fresh breeze. Back down again we headed to the old fortress around one bay north of the city.
