Dubrovnik

Had an interesting time trying to leave Candela. Waited an hour and a half in the sun for a bus that never arrived, even though we bought tickets for it earlier the same morning. Finally went back to our B&B and the hosts drove us down to another bus station where we managed to catch a bus to take us to Foggia and then we caught the train to Bari.
More fun and games in Bari trying to get our ferry tickets to Dubrovnik. It involved shuttle buses from the port to a ticket office 5 minutes up the road, only to discover the office didn't open for another 1 1/2 hours! Fortuntely there was a bar cafe handily positioned nearby (someone had obviously spotted the opportunity). Mission finally accomplished and we shuttled back to the port. Night sailing at 10pm and arrived in Dubrovnik 7am. A smooth crossing and Dubrovnik was calm and beautiful when we arrived. We were met by our host and shown to our apartment. Small, but adequate for the 2 days. Had a lazy afternoon / evening.
Caught bus over the hill to 'Old Dubrovnik' this morning.  We are here supposedly on the shoulder of the season, we can't imagine what it must be like at the peak.  The place was absolutely heaving with tour groups and people off cruise ships. (Currently 3 in port!). Hard to believe there has so recently been war waged in this area, and also how anyone could launch such attacks destroying beautiful historic buildings. Off to Montenegro tomorrow... (one of the attackers of Dubrovnik).
