At last I had the chance to be a sea bear and travel the high seas. I have to admit, the adriatic sea close to shore is quite calm, which was great to relax.
It all started with a train ride to the huge Frankfurt / Main Airport, I never understood why we had to go there instead of flying from Munich, but it wass first class there and back and was a relaxed start into the vacation, even though I had to get up at 2:30 AM, which definetly was a ghastly hour of night.
Here I am sitting on the magnificently restored city wall of Dubrovnik in Croatia at the Adriatic Sea, waiting for the church bells to ring and glancing into the old towns harbor, which you can see on the left.
Here I am obviously lending a helping hand to our captain on our the boat Leonardo, every time he needed some time off the wheel.
On the island of Hvar I took a rest on the very old castle at the top of town. The oldest parts of this castle are from 1000 BC, the newer ones from 1400 AC
I hope you can see me on this picture, I am sitting on the wall, above the sign. It really was so scary down there that I didn't manage to take a picture, I ran back out as fast as my paws would take me. It was huge for me but for humans it must have been awfully cramped in there.
Here I found a friend (of my yellow ruberducky bathtub friend at home), waiting for new customers to arrive. The rooms where always very pretty and cozy.
Seeing food and eating sea food is quite the same here, as it is so fresh, that one feels, that the fish just maybe has to be killed a second time, after it was grilled and flopped on the plate, cause it is so fresh and juicy.
Sitting by the sea and enjoying the sundowners dinner, watching boats return to the harbour from a day out at sea.
As you can see, the nears here have respectable jobs, working for the local croatiian ice food company. Each bear has it's own picture, one for frozen fish, holding a fish, the one for bakeries seen here, aso.
This vacation was excellent and I wouldn't mind to return to this country for another boating week anytime.
