30th birthday in Dubrovnik


Couldn't have asked for a nicer 30th birthday! Thank you everyone for the birthday messages! We spent the day relaxing in the sun at our hotel with frequent dips in the sea to cool off. The water is so clear and the ocean was essentially our pool! I then had a massage and sea salt exfoliation treatment at the Royal Rixos Spa as our hotel which was really relaxing and had a great facility. Adam had made reservations for dinner at Villa Ruza, a seaside restaurant on an island called Kolocep, a short boat/ferry ride from Dubrovnik. It had great surroundings, fresh seafood and really good service! The Shrimp tempura was divine! Saw a beautiful subset on the water as we travelled back to to say goodbye to Dubrovnik Old city which I was very sad about. Old town is such a lively place. I would have loved to stay longer to dine at more restaurants and explore more alleyways of the Old town. We finally found our way to Buza bar/cafe - a random patio overlooking the sea that is built off the city wall with amazing views. The only thing I won't miss is how a soft drink is ~$5 almost everywhere you go - robbery lol. We are off to Hvar today, which is a popular island a boat ride from Split, which is frequented by many celebrities apparently.
