A Few Days in Dubrovnik, Croatia | Old Town, City Walls and Really Good Food | ashvictorie

00:00:11:17 - 00:00:11:24 Speaker 1 Good. 00:00:11:24 - 00:00:12:29 Speaker 2 Morning. 00:00:14:26 - 00:00:17:01 Speaker 3 We are in providing guests today. 00:00:18:01 - 00:00:20:25 Speaker 1 But the camera was set so I can do a. 00:00:20:25 - 00:00:23:10 Speaker 3 Lot of logging, but this is the room. 00:00:23:16 - 00:00:24:15 Speaker 2 At the Hilton.

00:00:25:21 - 00:00:28:10 Speaker 1 Hotel at the Hilton. 00:00:28:10 - 00:00:45:24 Speaker 3 Imperial. And it's very nice and we have a fantastic view of the city walls and the outside.

It's so lovely. I highly recommend staying here. We're going to go have breakfast is included. And then we're really going to go check. 00:00:45:24 - 00:00:46:17 Speaker 1 Out some of the. 00:00:46:27 - 00:00:48:11 Speaker 3 City walls and.

00:00:48:20 - 00:01:01:13 Speaker 1 Other things around Dubrovnik that are masses. But yeah, we had a really great dinner last night at a place called 40 for a little bit like on the pricier and but the pasta dishes were very, very good. 00:01:01:23 - 00:01:23:21 Speaker 3 Particular the risotto scallops with scallops was chef's kiss. So thank you long today. Yeah. Good afternoon leaving a bit late today, but it's all right.

00:01:24:03 - 00:01:25:16 Speaker 4 We went to bed very late. 00:01:25:19 - 00:01:50:05 Speaker 3 We did. We did, and we are fully adjusted. It's safe to say to the local time capsule for the hotel is it is a gorgeous day. We put sunscreen on, though, because I think you can get burned.

We're going to check out the city walls and the Franciscan monastery and that adorn the synagogue and museum. 00:01:50:05 - 00:02:05:11 Speaker 3 The bell tower spans a palace. Everything's pretty small here, like Dubrovnik is not as large, honestly, as you would think. So you're actually able to do it like within a day or two.

So that's as much time as we have so excited to do that. 00:02:05:22 - 00:02:09:21 Speaker 3 We're also hopefully later going to go through the cable car ride to see the city. 00:02:09:23 - 00:02:11:17 Speaker 4 And the exciting. I know.

00:02:13:00 - 00:03:15:08 Speaker 3 Yes. So. I'll show you around. Emus are so beautiful. 00:03:15:08 - 00:03:20:02 Speaker 4 They're so pretty. It is a marathon, but.

00:03:22:05 - 00:03:34:09 Speaker 3 It is very bright and sunny, but it is so worth this walk, I think I have done like a lot of like city wall tours and stuff, but I mean, you have a gorgeous view on this side and you also have a gorgeous view of the ocean island on this side. 00:03:34:19 - 00:03:52:27 Speaker 3 It is so in gorgeous events, it is so worth the walk. It's it's really nice. It's a great way, I think, to start your day too. So yeah, people say like basically like to get this over with at the beginning, and I think it lets you kind of really experience the city from like a bird's eye view 00:03:53:06 - 00:04:07:18 Speaker 3 . And then you can go online, check out the individual things. So this is the second part of the wall you can choose to exit or continue on.

But one of the that's where people were like, You should. This is the best part. 00:04:08:06 - 00:04:15:05 Speaker 3 I feel like there's probably a lot of people that jump off here, but you get to see, know, like jump jump out, like they leave exit. 00:04:15:29 - 00:04:18:18 Speaker 4 Oh, no, like live.

Or you can see the. 00:04:19:20 - 00:04:24:24 Speaker 3 Area, I believe behind us and you see the grander city. 00:04:25:20 - 00:04:27:27 Speaker 4 And the yachts.

Next time will come in about. 00:04:28:00 - 00:04:41:16 Speaker 3 Yeah, we'll talk on a yacht. Sounds good. It smells delicious.

It's kind of interesting because you see, like you can see, like some people's homes. I wonder how they feel about people walking by their house. Every picture of everyone's. 00:04:41:16 - 00:04:42:15 Speaker 3 I'm sorry. 00:04:44:22 - 00:04:45:00 Speaker 4 Make it. 00:04:45:01 - 00:04:53:00 Speaker 3 Lady.

We didn't see one. I think she was just really embracing her free self. She was a bit older, so I think that she, you know, at that point, you know, you do whatever you want. 00:05:05:22 - 00:05:06:07 Speaker 4 Call them. 00:05:07:22 - 00:05:08:26 Speaker 3 Come on and off the.

00:05:09:18 - 00:05:38:16 Speaker 4 Field fountain where you fill your water bottle. Well, I guess the fountain is constructed conspiring against Ashley. And now we have to walk a little bit more further to fill it up and how kind of stop again. I guess I don't even drink it. 00:05:41:25 - 00:05:42:13 Speaker 4 There's a model.

00:05:42:13 - 00:05:49:00 Speaker 3 For pretty good. What I know, I love that you love it. 00:05:50:00 - 00:05:54:04 Speaker 4 Wow.

So any violence and of course. 00:05:54:04 - 00:05:54:09 Speaker 2 You. 00:05:55:24 - 00:06:03:12 Speaker 4 Look at the Orange Tree back there. We saw a lot during the water.

Beautiful didn't save any last words. 00:06:03:21 - 00:06:18:01 Speaker 3 Yes, they're going to go check out the rest of the city right now. It's a bell tower. Yeah. Yep, they're walking down the main street one streets as a trying to exchange some money.

There's a lot of exchange places here. 00:06:18:11 - 00:06:31:24 Speaker 3 Montenegro only banks here. You know, you're going to have to pay a difference. The commission, even though it says no commission, but you'll start having commissions. They only accept Kronos and they do accept euros and a lot of places herself.

00:06:39:15 - 00:06:57:07 Speaker 3 The Old Port area. You can look at the pigeons are coming. They're super annoying. There's pigeons literally everywhere. Reminds me of Italy in that sense, but where there are tourists, there are pigeons, always food and pigeons feed them. 00:06:57:18 - 00:07:09:25 Speaker 3 Is the Old Port beautiful? I think you can rent a boat or go on like a tour, different kind of events.

So next we checked out booze, a bar. 00:07:09:26 - 00:07:15:24 Speaker 1 It's one of the secret bars located just outside the city walls has wonderful views and the really great vibes. 00:07:16:16 - 00:07:17:26 Speaker 2 I love cash. 00:07:18:00 - 00:07:25:03 Speaker 5 Only. I'm not selling this and. 00:07:25:23 - 00:07:53:22 Speaker 3 I believe it's great.

And. That sounds kind of good, though. OK, I'll try this thing, the economy, some Hanabusa Bar.

It's kind of like through the city we're on and Sridevi. You think a lot going on or someone can follow a nurse at a time, I guess. 00:07:55:19 - 00:07:59:14 Speaker 3 So we ordered a local beer once our dilemma.

00:07:59:22 - 00:08:03:09 Speaker 5 Because I just can't believe we're. 00:08:08:00 - 00:08:16:12 Speaker 3 Tying the local local beer. It's very good. I'm not a beer person, but this is very good. The rattler, the rattler.

00:08:16:12 - 00:08:25:28 Speaker 5 From Germany. You know. 00:08:26:22 - 00:08:36:14 Speaker 3 We are going to the beach today, and we did a walking tour this morning and then now we're going to the beach. They're going to. 00:08:38:11 - 00:08:40:09 Speaker 5 Get the name Sunset Beach. 00:08:41:11 - 00:08:43:10 Speaker 3 Which is also known as.

00:08:44:02 - 00:08:47:12 Speaker 1 Valhalla by the beach. And it's a little bit further than. 00:08:48:27 - 00:08:50:02 Speaker 3 Oh, I think. 00:08:50:14 - 00:09:00:04 Speaker 1 West of Dubrovnik.

So we're going to drive there. They say that there's ample parking and you can pay with Carter Cash. 00:09:00:08 - 00:09:02:24 Speaker 3 At the machine, so I'm going to check it out.

00:09:13:04 - 00:09:14:13 Speaker 2 You know. 00:09:14:27 - 00:09:41:06 Speaker 3 At Sunset the beach, we found parking isn't that bad, honestly. And we paid for a pass for the day work. It's my first in Makar. And Bowen says if you want to get up every hour and go charge it and do that, this is the beach we got in the water and it was very refreshing.

00:09:41:26 - 00:09:54:13 Speaker 3 It's a little bit cold at first. You're used to warm water, but it is very nice. The rocks are also very nice. A little rough to step on, but I think you get used to it.

00:09:56:17 - 00:10:13:08 Speaker 1 We loved our afternoon at Sunset Beach in Dubrovnik. Definitely recommend checking out the beaches while you're in town if you have the time. We had lunch nearby as well, so there's some places to get some food.

It's a great way to spend your day, especially if you're on a long trip like we were in the evening. 00:10:13:08 - 00:10:20:23 Speaker 1 We headed to the Rhino's wine bar in Old Town to try a wine tasting of some local wines trying. 00:10:21:05 - 00:10:23:10 Speaker 3 You know, wines from all around Croatia. 00:10:23:17 - 00:10:28:17 Speaker 2 We feel that. That's going, I'm getting this shot.

00:10:29:10 - 00:10:39:12 Speaker 3 It's an Vivino, and it's in a little off road from the main road in the Old Town. So yeah, we're about to try it off. We take one home with us. 00:10:39:28 - 00:10:50:14 Speaker 6 There's only one in Vancouver.

This is our little tomato's drive, but it crashes yankees' our dry sausages. Oh dear, I could shoot. 00:10:50:21 - 00:10:51:28 Speaker 2 You right there. Yes.

00:10:52:08 - 00:10:53:20 Speaker 3 How it goes, you. 00:10:55:13 - 00:10:57:22 Speaker 5 Fact, instead of being like. 00:10:58:12 - 00:11:02:02 Speaker 3 OK, French fail, no, I try Korean. 00:11:03:10 - 00:11:09:14 Speaker 4 After shopping. And Sydney's a Long Island.

Old Town. 00:11:12:06 - 00:11:32:25 Speaker 3 I'll Swabian slogan anyway, so yeah, we'll check out a little bit more of Old Town today. I'm doing a little bit of shopping. Did you tell him what he did? Yes. Last night we I took a little video, but we went to Devina, a wine bar right off like Strathewen, which is the main street.

00:11:33:06 - 00:11:43:12 Speaker 3 And it was really good and it's like recommended her time out and everything. And we found some really good wines and we're going to go back and buy one. But we don't want to have to, like, carry it for a while.

00:11:43:12 - 00:11:55:25 Speaker 3 So we're going to go back and buy maybe one or two bottles. It was very good. There's like a specific wine that they only make in a I want to say it's like that go to Jack that tango jack or something like that.

00:11:56:13 - 00:12:06:00 Speaker 3 But they only make in a specific region here in Croatia, and it has to be made in that region to get the name. So anyway, it was very good. We enjoyed it. 00:12:06:05 - 00:12:07:06 Speaker 4 What else today? 00:12:07:19 - 00:12:09:19 Speaker 3 Oh, today we're going to check out some of. 00:12:10:07 - 00:12:22:16 Speaker 4 The old pharmacy.

Apparently, it's one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe, yet it's in the Franciscan monastery, and then we're going to go to a local mart. Oh, well, you see. 00:12:22:16 - 00:12:27:29 Speaker 3 The look of the old market to see if it's open. Yes, because that's husband wants some airboat remedies, apparently. 00:12:27:29 - 00:12:29:18 Speaker 4 Dried lavender.

00:12:29:19 - 00:12:38:11 Speaker 3 Oh yeah. Olive oil to put into your bag. It makes it fun. I'll do.

I'm fat and my shoes, then keep eating. 00:12:38:16 - 00:12:39:00 Speaker 4 Meat. 00:12:40:04 - 00:12:41:20 Speaker 3 And then the House of God was.

00:12:41:20 - 00:12:52:19 Speaker 4 Right and then the life of our local designer, and we're going to go check that out. And then we promised a few old ladies that were making sure. 00:12:53:10 - 00:12:53:27 Speaker 3 That we would go. 00:12:53:27 - 00:12:56:20 Speaker 4 Back, that we would go back. She told us she was making. 00:12:57:10 - 00:13:09:27 Speaker 3 Money and I have put on us today.

You guys actually a lot of the smaller shops that you have to pay with cash, so and even some of the tours are cash only, so just be conscious of that. 00:13:10:09 - 00:13:11:24 Speaker 3 Maybe you want to exchange like a little bit. 00:13:11:24 - 00:13:13:17 Speaker 5 Of money when you're here. 00:13:16:21 - 00:13:19:28 Speaker 3 I know who will be. 00:13:35:14 - 00:13:35:23 Speaker 2 You. 00:13:37:00 - 00:13:39:25 Speaker 3 Our remedies from the old pharmacy.

00:13:40:00 - 00:13:42:13 Speaker 4 That we buy sell no. 00:13:42:27 - 00:13:50:18 Speaker 3 Cream and cream. It did say don't take pictures and videos in there, so just be aware. 00:13:50:28 - 00:13:52:16 Speaker 4 Yeah.

Yeah, I definitely did. 00:13:52:16 - 00:14:02:11 Speaker 3 And I actually walked in with my camera, so she wasn't very happy. So yes, please respect their rules when you're here. 00:14:02:24 - 00:14:17:25 Speaker 1 Next, we checked out the Old Town market, which is open daily from seven to 5:00 p.m.,

closed on Sunday, I believe. There's all kinds of awesome homemade olive oil, olive oil products, lavender. We really enjoyed it.

Make sure you take cash. 00:14:27:24 - 00:14:41:06 Speaker 1 After the market, we headed over to life, according to GAWA, a local shop that I recommend you hit up if you have some time. A lot of local designers really neat stuff jewelry, home goods and from designers in the region. 00:14:41:06 - 00:14:47:10 Speaker 1 The owner is really nice as well. And we picked up some postcards to send using stamps from Teesside.

00:14:56:16 - 00:15:06:12 Speaker 3 I left. So allow it go, I like our environment, John Life. 00:15:06:12 - 00:15:11:01 Speaker 4 According to go on, that Jonathan will become friends and great. 00:15:11:28 - 00:15:12:13 Speaker 2 Grandchildren. 00:15:15:27 - 00:15:17:22 Speaker 3 And then they will be negative on. 00:15:18:02 - 00:15:18:04 Speaker 4 The.

00:15:19:06 - 00:15:22:25 Speaker 3 President and on this island, Long Island, supermodel, lansoprazole, Premiere. 00:15:23:15 - 00:15:38:21 Speaker 4 Bougainvillea, I think. And coming up on one of the negative. You get the best restaurants.

There's a view of the Adriatic Sea. 00:15:40:03 - 00:15:44:14 Speaker 3 And what I say so far beyond anything that's. 00:15:44:14 - 00:15:45:14 Speaker 4 Going on.

00:15:46:03 - 00:15:46:19 Speaker 3 Both, I. 00:15:47:04 - 00:15:47:11 Speaker 2 Think. 00:15:47:21 - 00:16:07:06 Speaker 3 Very. We're getting that. Hello. Hello.

We are back in the car at a place that John from Cowell recommended to us. So apparently a seafood restaurant. Yeah, I'm not starving, but definitely can out. It's about an hour and a half to our destination, so we'll stop along the way. 00:16:08:14 - 00:16:20:02 Speaker 3 Maybe we'll. Just amazing that I have a restaurant there, I stand here.

00:16:20:15 - 00:16:20:18 Speaker 2 And. 00:16:21:25 - 00:16:24:12 Speaker 3 Draw like basically Seaside Little Town. 00:16:24:22 - 00:16:45:23 Speaker 5 Because they monitor. Look at this. 00:16:46:04 - 00:16:47:15 Speaker 4 Fresh oysters from the. 00:16:48:10 - 00:16:52:27 Speaker 3 Adriatic Sea and the prosecco to go along with it from of little salad.

00:16:56:03 - 00:17:12:25 Speaker 1 We enjoyed the food so much and has enjoyed her oysters, I enjoyed watching the oysters, not much of an oyster fan myself, but out of it was super delicious. The name of the restaurant is bougainvillea and cast that definitely make your way out there if you have an extra time in Dubrovnik. 00:17:13:22 - 00:17:23:21 Speaker 1 We loved it.

I would definitely go back. This was kind of it for our day. We enjoyed our lunch and then headed back to Dubrovnik hung around the city.

But look. 00:17:23:21 - 00:17:50:01 Speaker 3 At that. So good. Last night.

We're going up the cable car is one 7:00 a.m.. 00:17:50:05 - 00:17:54:14 Speaker 5 Don't pay for the 180 you pay, how many of them they have the cable car, I believe. 00:17:56:14 - 00:17:57:11 Speaker 3 So honestly.

00:17:57:20 - 00:18:12:07 Speaker 1 From this day I was feeling a little bit sick. I don't have that much commentary as I would have liked to, but we took the cable car right up. I would say that now, and I thought that the walk around the city walls was actually a more beautiful way to get to the city. 00:18:12:07 - 00:18:28:06 Speaker 1 But it's definitely a must do while you're in Dubrovnik. It's worth it.

Like we mentioned, pay when you get to the cable car and not before then there was a beautiful if you have a chance, you can sit up at the cafe at the top like we did after that. 00:18:28:15 - 00:18:42:21 Speaker 1 We kind of walked through the Old Town, had some places we hadn't seen. Like sponsored Palace.

Most of it was closed, so we didn't get to see much. But it has some artwork and memorial for some soldiers from all Dubrovnik. 00:18:43:00 - 00:18:48:11 Speaker 1 We checked out one of the churches in the Old Town and then we headed to lunch. 00:18:52:12 - 00:18:54:03 Speaker 2 But I'm blessed that. 00:18:55:05 - 00:18:59:02 Speaker 3 This is officially taking off at the last like we've got major.

00:18:59:04 - 00:19:01:29 Speaker 4 Foodie, I should not, but I brought her here. 00:19:02:00 - 00:19:05:05 Speaker 3 It's funny like my father. Never learn more about like this, but.

00:19:05:05 - 00:19:08:04 Speaker 4 Now that's why we all become famous on this trip. 00:19:08:04 - 00:19:20:11 Speaker 3 Because I on it. And you might ask, like, why are you trying all these different methods like straight up? We ask for recommendations and from locals, and the locals said that these were their favorite asteroids. 00:19:20:26 - 00:19:24:21 Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah. But I must say I roll my eyes at night.

I was out. 00:19:24:21 - 00:19:39:26 Speaker 3 On my way out of bounds this year. Don't be scared to ask. And I would say that even though they have like a group like creation food, which is like Italian influenced and not a seafood, there's a, you know, you never know where you find really good options overseas terror. 00:19:43:08 - 00:19:47:06 Speaker 3 For the trip song Fleetwood Mac's Dreams.

00:19:48:14 - 00:19:56:08 Speaker 4 A remake of rhetoric from Big Little Lies. Chicken pox. No important. 00:20:28:26 - 00:20:33:19 Speaker 3 I stood up. We're taking it back, and I was taken out the manager, though I knew then. 00:20:33:19 - 00:20:44:05 Speaker 4 That I usually do that.

I know right now we need to go to America. It's called quinoa and even coffee. Even Colby. 00:20:44:29 - 00:20:49:06 Speaker 3 Has navigated us to a place didn't help that we were listening to like a murder.

00:20:49:06 - 00:20:52:28 Speaker 5 Podcast buried on our way here. 00:20:53:29 - 00:20:54:29 Speaker 3 So we were a little better. 00:20:55:08 - 00:20:58:24 Speaker 2 Are we going to get killed? It's a little bit off the beaten path. Yeah. 00:20:58:25 - 00:21:03:09 Speaker 3 A buried, deserted.

Yeah. And I think I think that they probably. 00:21:03:09 - 00:21:05:07 Speaker 2 Have suffered a little bit or, you know, this is go, but. 00:21:05:22 - 00:21:09:20 Speaker 3 It's so cute. It's been around and his family owned and he told us that the history it.

00:21:10:01 - 00:21:24:18 Speaker 4 Like, yeah, like you said, the rocks are more than 100 years old. And so, you know, at the tour, they have a lot of truth drives like natural, natural on the rocks. And there was a love line at the wine. 00:21:24:18 - 00:21:27:08 Speaker 3 Cellar in cellar, and he was a. 00:21:27:08 - 00:21:32:01 Speaker 4 Little bit of the one Charles Ramsey and herbal brandy.

00:21:32:05 - 00:21:37:02 Speaker 3 But I couldn't do. And it was very strong. So it was delicious.

Super easy. 00:21:37:02 - 00:21:38:06 Speaker 4 To drink from cherry. 00:21:38:21 - 00:21:42:29 Speaker 3 And vino. The wine in the vernacular has been found in Maine.
