We are in economy at row 4, but I feel like we're right on top of the business people! This is row 2 & 3. I'm grateful row 3 is empty while my kid works through her kicking obsession. (Advice welcome on that.)

Hello, Dubrovnik.
seattlerachel:
I see what you're up to, cat.

Dubrovnik's forecast for this weekend has been dismal for days. Twice I tried to check out the city wall walk this afternoon but storms rolled in. I almost shelved the idea altogether, but then I remembered words from my friend @bpsphoto years ago when fa

More from the city walls. This was a part of the day that made up for lost luggage, or at least made me forget about it briefly. I hope we get our last bag tomorrow! (Swiss Air has a new software system. And their check-in agents, who also coordinate Cr

The restaurant two houses over from our apartment has an amazing rooftop view.

Hopping onto @kairuy's "Cats of the Med" train.

Walking down Peline, our "home" street, after lunch.

The Kotor magnet for my collection prominently features a cat. #catsoftheMed

So this is what the guidebook author meant by more scenic than the tunnel but narrow two-lane roads with *Adriatic shoulders*. That's a red car passing us on the left. Half the 30-minute drive did not have any stone wall on the right.

Yugo sighting on a ferry, in former Yugoslavia!

Dubrovnik's Bosnian restaurant. Highly recommended.

Walking down the Road to Paradise on Qarth. (Lokrum Island)

Peacocks in trees, peacocks on the rock beach, a peacock greeting the boat to the island. Peacocks everywhere.

1st rosé of the season I think? 1st starter man-bun sighting outside of Seattle (for me). In the upper left, the octopus gnocchi with black sesame in arrabiata sauce: 👌 The broken lemon meringue pie: 👐 Delicious final dinner in Dubrovni

The sun over Korčula town, from the ferry.

The sun, coming through the tower at Dubrovnik's Franjevački samostan (Franciscan monastery).

This guy watched our stuff for us on the beach near Lumbarda. #todaysCroatianGastropod

The cat who set up camp under my daughter's chair. Scored some shrimp. #catsoftheMed

"Remember when mama climbed that bell tower today?" "Yeah! And then you fell off!" Two-year olds. Unreliable narrators.
seattlerachel:
Good timing for our departure from Korčula. On a very short ferry to Orebic. Next up, medium ferry to Ploče. Someday I'll take the 4-hour ferry from Korčula Island to Split but not today since our Little Miss doesn't chill well on ferry boats yet.
seattlerachel:
The chocolate ice cream is a hit.
seattlerachel:
Charcuterie plates: fancy toddler meals. We've ordered a number of them because we all love the olives and ham. In this case: Dalmatian smoked ham (prsut), various local cheeses, fig jam, honey with fennel, olives, walnuts, sunflower seeds.
seattlerachel:
We visited @mayaphotog's great-grandma at Ivan Meštrović's villa and sculpture garden today. (Růžena Zátková was an artist herself and her exhibition at Prague Castle brought us there in 2011 with @mayaphotog and @janetmkincaid.)

Keeping the seat warm, despite the rain. #catsoftheMed
