Pebble beach in Croatia

Today the boat got to Croatia about midday and anchored just outside of the city. We took the life boats into the harbor and got off in the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. All the roofs are the same terra-cotta orange color with a huge castle-looking wall surrounding the city.
From the harbor we took another boat to the Sveti Jakov beach. It looked just like a postcard with all different colored stones in the crystal clear water. As beautiful as it was, It was far from functional. Just getting knee deep involved several stubbed toes and slipping and falling into the icy water. It was super refreshing because of the heat though, which was an upside!
For lunch they served us a plate of seafood which included mussels, fried calamari, and anchovies that looked like they had jumped out of the water and onto my plate, head, tail, scales, and all. But if course I was dared to try it and I think it was probably the weirdest thing I have ever put into my mouth. Afterward we ordered a salad, but when we asked for dressing they only brought out olive oil and some kind of vinegar.
Jerry then was like, where's the ranch? Which made all of us laugh.
After lunch we relaxed in chairs by the water before having to head back to the boat.
The rest of the night was spent dancing and having fun until super late just because it was our last night.
Tomorrow we will be back in Venice for a few days and hopefully have free wifi!
