Oysters in Ston and Dubrovnik

We said goodbye to Split for the final time and drove down the coastal road, hugging the Limestone cliffs at times, as the road wound around many bays and villages and villas.





We passed across the 10 km Bosnian section of the coast and stopped in the small town of Ston, well known for its five kilometres of Great Wall which kept medieval marauders out of the oyster beds and mandarin groves. We had a lovely lunch, notable for its oyster and mussel tasting and marathon length - taking the girls 3 hours to serve the 34 of us our 4 course meal. We then had to rush wall tour and made a quick trip to the top to just under the middle fort - no mean feat after all that lunch !!! There are quite a few empty and broken houses around the villages, Serbians who haven't returned since the war to this far into Croatia.









The view from top was lovely, of the town and the salt fields and then some mushrooms Graeme found down below.





Snooze time in the bus until Dubrovnik - the cruise ships are also in town so let's hope they leave early tomorrow. It is greener and less rocky this far South and looks very pretty so far. The 5 star Rixos is pretty good also but finding your way around the buffet was pretty daunting at tea!!




See you soon

Love Wendy and Graeme
