After an afternoon on Lockrum Island, Jo and I went on a mini-shopping spree, followed by a short rest back at Villa Odak. Then we meandered downhill again to old Dubrovnik. There we had a repeat dinner not to far from the ferry dock.

While we nibbled at appetizers in the 'al fresca' setting, a bridal party waltzed by. Jo loves people and she called out to the bride, letting her know just how pretty she was - and as you can see from the photo, the bride is a treat in tulle!
After dinner we each took a walk around Old Dubrovnik. I knew something was being celebrated but was clueless as to what.
 |
| Lots of festivities and lots of music in Old Dubronik |
 |
| I meandered over to one of the old buildings which was spectacular |
 |
| The marvelous lighting added to the wonderment for me |
 |
| Inventive clock tower |
 |
| This spot was wanting a Gregorian chant playing in the background |
 |
| Can't even imagine the purpose of this beautiful hall |
Turns out there was a festival in progress.
The Kinookus Food Film Festival, an international event, happening every September. Jo and I just stumbled into it. The festival celebrates the regional wines, purest olive oils, and my favorite, shellfish (yum!). Oh, and there is a marathon, I suppose is held to take off some of the food accrued festival fat. As the internet describes the event, it is a '....feast of diversity, unity, meetings, ideas,
games and enjoyment. Now, I didn't partake of any of the featured food or film, but I did visit one of the displays, celebrating many film stars, old and new.

A couple of the new stars showcased, no surprise, play characters in Game of Thrones. Lots of those kind of souvenirs were about.
 |
| Winter is coming. Spring too, if you only wait long enough. |

I returned to roaming the old city |

After touring Old Dubrovnik, I very nearly enjoyed hiking back uphill to Villa Odak. It's our last night. Tomorrow we begin a slightly circuitous route back to Zagreb, then on to Budapest.
