you wanna live here maybe it looks terrifying there's donkeys here that's
awesome we're just getting started do you seeing this I've never seen anything
this is spectacular this could be your last day on earth right now enjoy it
[music]
today we leave split and drive to Dubrovnik a city known for its 16th
century old town which is encircled with massive stone walls Dubrovnik is
separate from the rest of Croatia which requires us to go through Bosnia to
get to it driving through Bosnia right now we had
to stop at the border crossing you have to stop there to get through to
Dubrovnik where we're going next and honestly I was a bit nervous at first
going through because I didn't know what to expect
thought they'd like search a car ask for passports and we got to the booth and
they just waved us on through so that was pretty easy actually this is our
Airbnb in Dubrovnik what a view looks good eh?
Hey Lea, good morning Lea
good morning Our Airbnb in Dubrovnik I could never say it right it has a
Samoyed dog the place is absolutely stunning what do you think Jaden do you like it? yeah
off old town today and what do we do first ascend to the top of a mountain
for a spectacular view of old town currently stuck in traffic I don't know
how long as we were trying to get up the gondola we accidentally went up the road
to go up to the top but it was terrifying so the the kids were terrified
so we had to turn around I was not terrified oh well she wasn't Jaden was
we're gonna go up there I'm not sure if we have to walk up there that's the
start or that's the end I think that's the start the start is on the bottom? yeah
alright Maelle knows where we are going we're just following Maelle we turned
Google Maps off we got Maelle maps are you confident in Maelle maps?
oh my god Maelle Maps worked how did you know? I don't know look at that cable car tickets
you're more excited than the kids I'm afraid of heights though so but I do it anyway
this could be your last day on earth right now enjoy it dad stop stop it
stop trying to scare us she likes the music
if you want to see
the best views of Dubrovnik either take the cable car or drive up on a clear day
you can see up to 60 kilometers up at the top here at Dubronvik we just took
the cable car up and that's an amazing view and we're just getting started to
explore up here we're gonna go walk around
there's donkeys up here that's
awesome and I think that's like a I don't know 2,000
foot drop they don't care I don't know why they're here see them behind me and the
kids are petting them what do you think of those donkeys weird I think it's cool
I think I know how they got up here they somehow use the gondola to get up here
just pet him he's gonna let you pet him trust me I wouldn't ahh
that's so cool well I'm thinking after
the six months of trip that we're on is over we're gonna ask the kids what's the best
thing they ever did and it's gonna be petting donkeys right Jaden? yeah
so normally we would come up and then walk down or walk up and go down
but Kathy's knee is sore today so
yeah I whacked it taking a photo hey all in the name of instagram
what a great start for the day now we go down the mountain to explore old town I hear
supposed to be pretty amazing
[music]
this is the entrance to the to the town alright lead the way
you seeing this? this is crazy this is stunning we just walked in
everywhere in Croatia is stunning everywhere ahhhhh
start this off with a big climb to the top of the wall of
Europe its supposed be the China wall of europe or the Great Wall of China wall of Europe
oh my god did I say that wrong you can't talk anymore on camera
I can't I can't talk anymore why?
this is my stairs work out I love to do stairs I'm sure getting that in in Europe oh my god
look at this view
these two kilometers stone walls surrounding Old Town were built in the
14th and 15th centuries to protect from foreign attacks have you ever seen
anything like I've never seen anything like this this is spectacular makes me
want to go to the Great Wall of China now yeah we can do that on this trip hey
maybe we were up there and now we're down here not really your type of thing
but what do you think about this oh I love this so cool it's like walking
along castle walls
the thing is that people actually still live in here like it's
it's a tourist attraction but they're living here in like 300 year old homes I know there are oranges and
pomegranates everywhere here I never knew they grew in places anywhere I just
thought they just showed up at the grocery store the best way to experience
the city is to merge with the crowd and let it take you on an unforgettable
journey through the maze of city streets and through centuries
well I'm getting my hair cut in Croatia 50 Kunz it's about 10 bucks
Kuna this guy does not know how to speak you can't
say anything right it's not any like the currency the words the places I
can speak Italian no English it's not English either no
right Coutts right suits suits! he even got his friends name wrong
I think you ended up winning the better-looking haircut than you ya than me because I'm old
what are we having? fresh orange juice cheers
old town is a must-see for its beauty and history but be prepared to pay triple the cost for
anything there compared to the rest of Dubrovnik
are you going for a boat ride? yeah alright! and the Ombla River
which empties into the adriatic sea is the source of drinking water for
dubrovnik we were so lucky to stay in an Airbnb right along this beautiful river
to top it off our host was kind enough to take our kids out for a boat ride
thank you so much for taking our kids on a boat this is the best Airbnb yet
you got to stay at this place this is awesome
so we're at the Valamar hotel and in Dubrovnik and we're not staying there
and they're letting us use their pool and beach club for free all we have to
do is buy a couple of drinks over there hopefully they're not eighty bucks
but so it's supposed to be really nice Dubrovnik Croatia is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world if you haven't been what are you waiting for
