I'm leaving Dubrovnik (Croatia) tomorrow so before I leave I wanted to take in the whole city with a cable car ride. The nice thing about this cable car is that the whole ride only takes about 5 minutes and the views are quite stunning.
Tour of the Abode
Before I leave I wanted to immortalize my stay by doing a quick tour of the room I rented in the Old Town. There aren't really any modern buildings, so it seems like most of the "hotels" within the walls of the fortress are converted homes with just 5 or 6 rooms that are rented out. I'm staying at a place called "Ragusa 2." The same people own the restaurant around the corner, also called, "Ragusa 2." One of our tour guides said that "Ragusa" is a very common name in Dubrovnik and people will often use it, or derivations of it, even when their family name isn't Ragusa. When I told him the name was "Ragusa 2" though, he said, "Oh yeah, they also have a Ragusa 1. There are only a few very rich families in Dubrovnik." It seems like the daughter runs this place and the restaurant and she seems really nice and speaks fluent English with almost no accent.
