Crossing to Croatia

We leave Montenegro long before we are ready. But Croatia awaits us with new adventures. We enter the country at Cavtat, a postcard town strung out along the port. This is the most popular and convenient port to check in and out of Croatia. As a result we had to wait for about an hour for our turn to pull up to the Q (quarantine) dock. We shuffle through the process going from one end of town to the other paying fees, collecting the right official stamps and a few welcoming smiles along the way. After being scanned, stamped and filed, we sail on to the old walled city of Dubrovnik. It is a beautiful stony city right on the coast with a deep port on the opposite side of the peninsula. The marina there is first class with an infinity swimming pool, wifi, marble shower blocks a couple of restaurants and nicely landscaped green spaces.
