Our Japanese stalkers

A later start to the day due to the lost tourist yesterday. The port in Dubrovnik is around a 20 minute bus ride away from town. It was a bit slow getting off board as a group of Japanese were a bit slow. We could pay the US$10 plus the Cunard 18% service fee, or you could walk about 5 minutes to the nearby bus station and get 4 x E1.73 tickets.  
Google said catch the number 8, the woman at the information booth was useless, and the 1D to the Old Town came by so we took a punt. 
We walked past the Cunard shuttles as they arrived.
First stop was the cable car to the top of the nearby hill. Somehow our Japanese friends got on at the same time. As far as cable cars go, it was a bit ho hum. Nice views but not much to do at the top. 
Photos finished, we just beat our Japanese group to the cable car for the trip down.
The Old Town was at the bottom, enveloped inside the fort walls. As far as the old town rankings go, this one is my number one. 
Not so touristy, some nice churches and a visit to an ice cream shop. If you've ever watched Somebody Feed Phil, he went to an ice cream and pastry shop in the old town called Gianni's. We followed in his footsteps. I imagine the ice creams tasted the same as every other one visited, but we paid the price for Phil giving it his thumbs up.
Finished with town, it was back on a bus to the ship, just in time to walk on board with our Japanese stalkers.
For the second time in a row we went to the theatre after dinner to see Martin Kaye do his Elton John show. Another good night.
