And so she went to Dubrovnik....

Our last stop on Sisterfest 2007....Dubrovnik, Croatia! It is incredibly beautiful and we're so glad to end our trip with such an awesome place.


Our flight from Krakow was pretty seamless, except for the fact that we grossly overestimated the time we needed to get to the airport for an 8 am flight. Waking up at 3 am and heading out at 4 just to hang out in an airport is NOT fun, even if you are in Poland. It's just that we didn't know exactly where we were going or how to get there, so we thought being miserable for a couple of hours in the airport was better than being miserable because we missed our flight.

We arrived in Dubrovnik in a very haggard state and in desperate need of a nap. It slipped our minds to bring the hotel ADDRESS with us so that we could tell the cabbie where to go, so there was all sorts of confusion. We told him, "Hotel Smodlaka," quite a few times, and he had no clue where to go. After finding an internet point and getting the address, we showed it to the cabbie. "Ohhhhhhhh," he said. "VILLA Smodlaka! Yes!" When it was a hotel, he had no idea, but a VILLA...yes! he knew exactly where that was located. Good lord.

But we made it and our little apartment in the VILLA (don't call it a hotel) is very cute. We feel like we're staying in a grandmother's house...very cozy and quaint. And then there's the terrace overlooking the Adriatic Sea...breathtaking!

We'll write more soon. We're hoping to get on the water at some point and we may even rent a scooter. Just like Dumb and Dumber.
