Birthday in Dubrovnik

On my birthday we headed to our last destination Dubrovnik.To get there you actually drive thru Serbia for about 10 minutes and go thru Customs twice. It is a beautiful drive along the Dalmatian Coast.  It is a walled city.

We drove straight to the hotel to drop our stuff off and then drove over to drop our car off. When we got there the office was closed and while I was not using my phone I was able to turn it on and call the number listed to see when it was going to open again. The guy said that he was at the airport but would be back soon. So we walked up and got some lunch. When we got back he was getting ready to leave and so we asked him how much it was for a cab.  He offered to drive us for half the price and so when he was driving us he offered to drive us to the airport for cheaper than a cab would. So we took advantage of his shady side cab business when we left. 

Our hotel was right on the water and was built into the side of the cliff. While it was a great location I hated our room, even the free bottle of champagne that we got to Mr & Mrs Ivory for our honeymoon, was not enough for me to love it.  I did not book us a sea view room and regretted it so when we checked in I tried to upgrade it but they were sold out so we were stuck with a room that seemed like it was in a cave with no natural light.

The concierge said we needed reservations at all of the restaurants but we ventured out and stumbled across one of the recommended ones and it was empty. So no reservations needed!
