The picture above is Sue in front of St. Vitrius' cathedral(pink shirt). We could see it from the old town square, but only visited it today. It is within the castle walls of the city, so we mistakenly mistook it for the actual castle. Nope, its a cool gothic/baroque church. We rode the incredibly fast tram to get there. The public transportation is amazing. It is clean, easy, extensive, and fast. Who need an ammusement park when the trolly goes around curves that fast? But, Sue didn't want to follow Rick Steves advice, so rather than taking the tram all the way to the top, we got to get off at the bottom and walk up all the stairs. Fun. Right?
The cathedral was great, and also happened to be free. We didn't go in the castle because it looked surprisingly boring and ordinary, and we are not into ordinary. We took a long walk around the outside of the castle walls and over the deer moat. Then we wanteder through some shops and got Indian food for lunch. Turns out the local fare here is a ton of meat. Rost duck, pork, roast piglet, sausage, ect. . But we knew that from the start.
Our hostel was just about 1/2 block from a store, so we grabbed food for the flight to Dubrovnik and got in the Subway just before we got caught in a thunderstorm. We got to the flight on time, but were told it was delayed for an hour, then three. So, here we sit. Croatia or bust.
Janna, We are loving you postings. Sorry that we haven't commented it's been a major issue just to read! It's great. We still have the 3 boys with us. We drop Hunter off on Friday morning but have Tait and Zach until Sunday. It's really been a lot of fun and a lot of work. I've actually had to cook! YUK.
