Croatia Vacation - Dubrovnik

 9/3/22

After a week at sea, we finally left our boat to head into King's Landing.  We had a driver pick us up and we were delivered to Hotel Excelsior where we were able to score an early check in.  Using a full sized shower for the first time in a week was a delight.  Hotel Excelsior was a great stay, but I have a complaint.  A five star hotel should not lock the room thermostats to a temperature that causes you to sweat in your own bedroom.  A quick (and slightly buzzed) call to the front desk fixed that problem quickly.  

Our hotel was around a 10 minute walk from the walled city, so Allison and I made the trek down to meet up with friends to explore a bit and complete our main mission for the day: find a bar that would show the Razorback game after dinner.

Croatia Vacation - Peljesac Peninsula

 9/1/22

We woke up early to snag a ferry over to Orebic on the mainland to meet our tour guide provided by D'Vino Wine Bar out of Dubrovnik.  We had originally planned to visit 3 wineries/vineyards and make a stop in Ston to go out in a little boat and harvest our own oysters, but severe thunderstorms forced us to drop the oyster excursion.  Oh well, you win some and you lose some.  

Our first stop was to Korta Katarina, a newer winery overlooking the sea right on the outskirts of Orebic.
