Still cannot believe the dolphin episode from yesterday - if Pat had not been with me, and seen it too, I would not have believed it. Early breakfast and off for an 'official' walking tour of Dubrovnik. Great guide (there seem to be even more guides than restaurants in Dubrovnik) and we visited the Franciscan Monastery (which we had kept in reserve for this purpose). The Monastery contains the third oldest pharmacy in the world - still functioning, and evidences shrapnel damage from the Balkans war as well as one location where a mortar penetrated the outer wall and hit an inner wall 8m inside.
Pulled away from Dubrovnik at noon, with a 5 course lunch (waiter service) following. The Captain made a call to give Mljet a miss because of the wind and the shortening days. Weather ok (much better than forecast) and seas a bit choppy - but still doing better than the forecast.
Tied up in Korcula at 6pm for a walk around town - and as it's Sunday, mass was on in the cathedral. Once again, a full house with plenty of young people. Day ended with another 5 course feast.
