CL and Me...our last look at Dubrovnik...
As usual we were up and at "our favorite Dubrovnik cafe" at about 8:30am-ish. We had our double cappuccinos and sat enjoying them immensely! After about 45 minutes we asked for our check and thanked the waitress who had waited on us all week. We told her good-bye andthat we were leaving today to go back home. She was so nice and shook our hands.
When we left the cafe we headed to the best bakery to get our pastries for the morning and then went just outside the Ploce Gate and sat on a bench, enjoying the view and the pastries. We strolled around a bit more and then went back to the sobe to finish packing our bags. Once the bags were packed we took one last walke around the Old Town before it was time for us to go to lunch.
At about noon we went over to Lokando for our "squid fest" lunch. we had both grilled and fried squid. The grilled was much better than the fried.
The fried squid is on the left, the grilled squid is on the right...
After a leisurely lunch we went for our last gelato at Dolce Vita. I had one scoop chocolate and one scoop mint this time...a great combination by the way!
After finishing our gelato we went back tothe sobe and Petar came in shortly after. It was about 2pm and we told him if he wanted to take us to the airport a little earlier that would be ok with us. So we left for the airport at about 2:15pm.
We got to the airport at about 2:45pm-ish and I'm glad we did because there was the line for check-in at the British Airways desk was fairly long. It took us about 25 minutes to make it through the line.
We stopped to get some water and looked through the duty free shop. Then we sat down to wait. Before we knew it at 3:45pm they were boarding our flight! We made a dash for the toilets and then boarded the plane.
We took off early! The flight was scheduled to depart at 4:35pm but we actually took off at 4:25pm. We landed at London Gatwick almost 30 minutes early at about 6pm. It took us about an hour to get through immigration, get our bags (which were already at baggage claim when we got to the carousel!) and navigate through Gatwick airport tothe Hilton Hotel. We checked in at about 7pm.
Once checked into the hotel and arrived at our room we decided to go back to the north terminal to see where the Delta check-in is and to see how long it will take us to walk there in preparation for tomorrow morning's flight. After we got through all that we ate "dinner" at the airport terminal...it wasn't anything great, just some appetizers. But by now it was almost 8pm and we hadn't had anything to eat since the squid at noon. After the unimpressive dinner we headed back to the hotel to get some sleep before we had to be up at the crack of dawn to catch our flight back home in the morning.
