Another day in Dubrovnik old town. Walked around the walls and went to a bunch of museums. Most of the museums are really frustrating due to a complete lack of context provided. Had a few drinks in a bar overlooking the Adriatic before heading back to the hotel.

Pretty warm Saturday. Dog was annoying all day. I put a coat of wood oil on the garden furniture, which was an awful job that I’d rather not repeat, and I took the cover off the BBQ. The horror. Went to the pub with some of dog club for the first time in an age, which was nice.

Day in Bosnia. Kravica waterfalls and Mostar. The waterfalls were really beautiful and the landscape either side of the boarder was incredible. Mostar was interesting but, like when first arriving in Dubrovnik, felt almost not real, like a tourist showpiece. A quick boat trip was a good vantage for the bridge. The war museum was very interesting, but very graphic.

Another warm day and had to put on the 2nd coat of wood treatment on the garden furniture. Maria wanted to mow the grass so I let her. Rainstorm overnight but one last hot day tomorrow so very happy to be off work and finally dog free . Might head into Newcastle.

Last full day in Dubrovnik. We decided to try the kayaking. It was fun but we didn’t have our swimsuits so just embracing getting our clothes soaked. Also, the pebbles on the beach were very painful to walk on. The evening was a truly wonderful boat trip. A meal at sunset. Wonderful views, amazing food. The sound of the wild peacocks on Lokrum island. A really special evening.

Beautiful sunny Monday off work and dog free. Schlepped to Newcastle and wandered about for a bit and got lunch then walked to the Free Trade and had a few pints. Had to keep ducking inside cos it was too hot in the sun.
