PTM // Dubrovnik, Croatia - Day 7 & 8!

—
Day 7:

This morning we slept in quite late after spending most of our day yesterday in the blazing hot sun. We were both so tired! We woke up had some breakfast and simply planned on just relaxing and spending our day down at the water at Buza.

We walked down to Buza around noon time and the weather was pretty much the same as it has been for the last week now. Sunny, hot, and beautiful! We jumped into the water as soon as we got there, and as you’ll see below I jumped from the highest cliff at Buza right off the bat. Thanks to Liz for the amazing photography skills! This is one of the craziest photos that I’ve seen in a while!

We stayed at Buza and swam around for a couple hours before heading back to the apartment. It got a little too hot and we had basically just spent a straight week in the sun so we were sort of tired of it at this point. We headed back to our beautiful air conditioned apartment and froze for a few hours while we cooked dinner and chatted about how great our vacation had been so far.

Later on we headed down to Old Town for one last gelato. We strolled the streets of Dubrovnik while we inhaled our gelati. After doing a bit of walking around town we headed home and called it a night. Tomorrow we’ll wake up early to make sure that we have everything packed for our flight back to Dublin, Ireland!

Day 8:

This morning we woke up around 8:45AM to get all of our stuff together and make sure that the apartment was in the same state as when we first arrived. We did most of the cleaning and most of our packing yesterday evening but still had a few things to do before our flight back to Dublin.

The owner of the apartment picked us up at 10:30AM and took us straight to the airport for our 12:40PM flight to Dublin. We hung out in the airport for a while and had a sandwich before we boarded the plane. Unfortunately we were sitting on the runway for about twenty minutes longer that we should have been due to some air restrictions but finally around 1:15PM we took off and we were on our way.

We landed in Dublin around 3:15PM and as much as we were sad about leaving Dubrovnik, we were both excited about getting back to Dublin. Even I was excited because I’ve been on the road for three weeks now and sometimes it’s just nice to get back to your home base even if it’s only for a few days.

Liz is heading back home to the states on July 6th so we’ve tried our best to jam pack as much as possible into this next coming week and a half. We’re spending tonight and tomorrow in Dublin and then on Friday we will head to the west coast of Ireland to Galway where we will meet up with some of my family and friends. On Sunday we’ll leave Galway and travel back to Dublin to spend the night before our flight to Alicante, Spain on Monday June 30th. We’ll be staying in Alicante, Spain until Friday July 4th.

All in all, we’ve had a great time so far. Croatia is a place not to be missed! Dubrovnik was one of my favorite cities so far. Now I’ll be showing Liz around Dublin and Galway for the next few days before we head back to another one of my favorites Alicante, Spain!

Til next time…
