A three hour tour. A three hour tour. Three island cruise to Elaphiti Islands: Kolocep, Sipan, and Lopud.
The going rate is 290 kn….but Anja and I who are quite experienced from
negotiating in Morocco secured the tour for 250 kn. Score.
I hate tours. I think they are for old people, and you see and eat what they want you to see and eat. I’ll choose my own pellets, thank you.
No surprise, the 1 hour we were promised on the first island
was cut to 40 minutes. The second island was cut from 90 minutes to 60. And the last island from 3 hours to 2.5
hours. The “fish picnic” of grilled mackerel was good, I must admit.

All these island are starting to look the same! My first day, I was in awe of the gorgeous coastline. But now, I have to be honest, it’s all beautiful, and it all looks the same. I don’t need to take any more photos!
Unfortunately, while it was sunny today—it was very windy. I was determined to use my “Dubrovnik beach towel”—so cheap and thin and touristy! So for an hour we took in some beach time on Lopud Island. I have yet to get in the sea!
I finally ate Cevapcici
at Taj Majal. The thing about dining in Dubrovnik is that your waiter
dosen’t come back to check on you. If you need something, you need to flag them
down. And forget about them bringing the check. You’ll sit there all night
(really) until you find them and ask for it.
I wanted to sleep well. The espresso before bed last night wasn’t my most brilliant decision. So, after dinner drinks at Café Kase were sounding good. The domestic grape brandy called “lozovaca” is now one of my favs…Can I have another? “of course.” The response is always “of course.”
