Our weekend in Dubrovnik!!

Three days ago we went to Dubrovnik. On the way there we popped in to Ston which  is a town just out of Dubrovnik.  It is famous for its mussels. I ate  1 kg of them and we had this big caramel cake for dessert. They farm the mussels with gigantic nets so they wash into them. After The mussels me and dad walked a one km bridge it took a few hours.  It was almost completely vertical.

Then we arrived in Dubrovnik!!  To get there we had to go through another country called Bosnia and Herzegovina . When we got to Dubrovnik  I had a gigantic burek for breakfast. Then we went on a walk around the city walls. T here were 876 steps.  Everyone except me kept on crying and screaming (especially Eliza.)

The walls of Dubrovnik were made to defend the city from enemies since the 9th century. In the 1993 Serbia launched 2000 bombs at Dubrovnik in the home land war.  
Every day we went to the same ice-cream man (Marko) because he can scoop the ice-cream …launch it up in the air …and catch it in the cone .  He can also get the whole ice cream and cone and flip it in the air.   He can even twirl the ice cream  in his hands.
On the last day we went on a pirate ship and went to three islands called the Elafiti Islands. On the first one we stayed for 50 minutes. Mum and dad had a coffee and we stayed in the park. On the second island we stayed for 1 hour and had a swim. Then we had lunch. I ordered chicken kebabs and salad. This was BBQ on the back of the boat.  On the third island we stayed for 3 hours  and had a swim in the only sand beach in Croatia.  There were lots of hermit crabs, starfish, crabs, and lots more!

THIS WAS THE BEST TIME IN CROATIA!!
