So -- the day didn't start off the greatest. Greg woke up with a sore foot. He went to the infirmary ($120 US just for the checkup!). He has gout. He couldn't go on the excrusion, so I went on my own. It was walking the wall of the Old City, a tour the Martime Museum (snore) and then some free time to explore the Old City.
Speaking of feet, I have a rash of some sort on my legs - just above my feet. It doesn't itch or hurt, it's just really red. I think it might be a heat rash, but I'm not going to the infirmary unless it really starts to spread or hurt.
Dubrovnik is wonderful and the old city is amazing -- but my goodness, I feel like I should just be a shell of my old self with all that walking up and down stairs in this blistering heat! Thankfully they had provided us with water beforehand and when we got to the ship, we were given iced face cloths and a drink of water.
After cooling off in our cabin for a bit, I went hunting for Greg. Found him lounging poolside reading a book. The ship departed Dubrovnik at 5:00pm and we were invited to go to the Helipad to take pictures (front of the ship), so I did that. Was able to get some nice shots.
Tonite was also the first Formal Dinner night. We hadn't been to the diningroom yet, so I was looking forward to it (the food -- not dressing up! ). We are seated at a table with 2 other couples. They are related and are from England. We really enjoyed our dinner with them.
There was a theater performance going on after dinner, so I went and checked that out -- Greg had gone back to the cabin to rest his foot. Now I'm here... :-)
I'm going to hit the Casino shortly and then I need to go the onboard library and find a book to read.
Tomorrow we are at sea all day, so it will be nice and relaxing. Maybe it will help Greg's foot and my rash...
Next stop -- Athens Greece!
Until next time...

Every time I here the word Dubrovnik, I think about the Liza Mannelli song, "Ring them Bells" about a girl who found her love there, but they both hailed from NY.
I hope your rash is nothing more than from the heat and that Greg's foot is feeling better.
Good lord Janice, GOUT????? WTHECK? I hope it clears up soon! I have heard it can be painful. I can't wait to see your pics of Dobrovnik! Take care!!!!!
Poor Greg. Hope it clears up for him soon and hope that your rash isn't anything serious.
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Can't wait to hear more and see some photos.
