Our last port of call on our cruise before returning to Venice was at Dubrovnik where the cruise ship put down anchor out in the bay and we had to go ashore using by tender. As with everything else on the cruise it was very well organised, trying to get a couple of thousand or more people ashore by lifeboat isn't a small task but although it took a while it was efficiently done. Dubrovnik according to the information onboard the ship has a population of 5,700 people although it looked larger from the sea. All the buildings appeared to have the same colour roof tiles and external wall colour so it all looked very neat and tidy! There was a man dressed up like a pirate with a parrot, a cockatoo and a Macaw in the street. The streets were paved with a pale coloured stone that had a real shine to it and it looked like a nice place to spend a night or two. There were lots of shops and restaurants and it had a city wall as well.
