Dubrovnik from a kayak.
Notice my tense posture and inability to turn and smile for the camera, even in the not quite so wavy area.
As regular readers know, I am a huge fan of being on the water. Whether just sitting and looking at the sea or sailing, boating or kayaking on it, it’s all good by me. So I was thrilled when we rented a sea kayak to paddle around the cliffs of the old town. The views were stunning. Just not quite gorgeous enough for me to last long in our tiny sea kayak with huge waves cresting, rolling and breaking around us and spilling over me in the front of the boat. But more about that scare and demanding to be taken ashore another time. Let’s just say that it was not one of my braver moments in life and that I did think that it was my worst nightmare come true for a moment or two. Or ten. Maybe I’ve gotten too used to the very calm Baltic Sea. For now, what I can say is that the Adriatic is beautiful and Dubrovnik from the sea is divine too.
