Dubrovnik

 Michael’s birthday. 

Church of All Saints:
Interior: 
Went to Buza Bar. This guy took 15 minutes to get up the courage to jump from the rocks there. I must admit it was very high!
Of course Scott did it more stylishly when he went to Croatia: 
Lo rum Island from Buza bar:
A clipper going around Locrum Island: 
Saint Ignatius Church: 
Interior:
The oldest Grotto in a church in Europe: 
Saint Ignatius Steps. Modelled after the Spanish steps: 
Then we decided to walk the city walls. We sensibly started at 5pm (they close the walls at 7pm) but it was still incredibly hot. We were going to go straight to dinner but the majority decided to head home for another shower before dinner. 

Dinner at Rudjer restaurant. When booking I had to read 3 pages about the history of the 18th century Croatian Scientist Rudjer Boskovic who the restaurant is named after, answer some questions and score 100%. Luckily I got them all right and we all get a 10% discount tonight. 
Beautiful restaurant in the Garden Court and fabulous food including beef cheeks, seafood risotto, sea bass and chicken Caesar salad.
