More Dubrovnik

After reading my previous Dubrovnik post, my companion said I had to do more. I'd mentioned the restaurant on the Gruz harbor and then not shown a picture, so... here is one he took. We were on the balcony terrace of the place and it was a clear night. The lights are across the bay between Babin Kuk (where we were) and Gruz. Boats would sometimes come in to dock. It was very pretty.
This is part of Gruz by daylight, including a spiffy suspension bridge that we went over on our way to Split.

Our hotel had "outside" elevators. They were more like tiny trams, since they went on a grade instead of straight up and down. Here's a picture of the hotel's beach from the elevator. The beach, like all Adriatic ones, is rocky.

Another thing I didn't mention was how we got into Dubrovnik's old town. When you park on the north side of the fort, you come out at the top of it and have to walk down stairs. Lots of stairs. On the way back, you get to go up them. There are stores and shops and cross streets on them too.

Beautiful pictures, the the steep narrow street is so typical of many places in that area. (The former Yugoslavia).
