Day 2 2009 03 28 Dubrovnic-Mjlet

In the morning, we have a picnic along the sea. The supermarket is expensive. Many products come from the UK or Germany.

We go to the Jadrolinija ferry terminal to get a ticket to Mjelt later in the afternoon. In that season, the number of crossings is very limited. The bikes are as expensive as a passenger.

Back to the centre, the main street is packed with groups of Japanese, German or Americain retired people, but the maze of steep alleys is tourist free. We are enchanted by the green steps, and the view of the old tiles.


The latter becomes even better when we go round the city walls (50 kunas). The view of the sea and of the entire old centre of town is stunning.


We hop on a taxi, cycle to the harbour, and go on a 2h30 journey on an almost empty ferry. Once arrived, we try to push to be close to the entrance of the Mjlet National Park, at the North East tip of the island. The first camping site is closed and not available for pirate camping, so we cycle a bit more through the hills and we hide the tent behide some olive trees, in an ideal spot.
