So we found our hostel, settled in and took a walk around our area of Dubrovnik. It was a really nice place with tons of marble and street cafes right by the beach. Of course as the evening went on a thunder storm rolled in. So we chilled at the hostel for a while where we met some Aussies. The rain finally subsided so we all decided to head into town. We found a club that was pretty good. At the club we met some nice girls from Malaysia. As the night went on we all decided we had enough, so we left the club to go back to their place. They where staying in the old town which allowed us to see the town in its deserted state. As well the marble that the entire old town is made of looked pretty cool under the moonlight after the rain soaked it. After hanging out in their swank apartment for awhile we decided it was time to head back to the hostel and hit the sack. So the two of us and an Aussie that was with us woke up a cabbie at the taxi station and headed home.
Our only full day in Dubrovnik was spent in the old town checking out the harbor and mostly walking around. The place looked very different by day when it is overrun by tourists. We also decided to walk around the old town walls which gave some amazing views. That evening we decided to go to a movie. Gran Torino was playing which turned out to be a really good movie. Movies in Croatia and most of Eastern Europe are in English with subtitles for the local language. The next day we hopped on a small 20 seat bus and headed up the coast to Split. From split we caught a 45 minute ferry over to the island of Hvar.
