Croatia/Adriatic

All the Mount Srđ summit attractions are accessible on foot from the upper cable car station, including the Panorama restaurant, observation decks, the cross, Fort Imperial, and the Homeland War museum. The view is awesome of Dubrovnik below.
As of 2025, the estimated overall population of Dubrovnik is around 41,562. This figure refers to the entire municipality of Dubrovnik, not just the historic city center.
The sailing ship is the Wind Surf.

Late this afternoon we are driving out of the city up Srd mountain to visit a winery and have dinner. This shot of the walled city was taken from our vehicle.  Micet Tower and Pile gate is in the round building foreground. The walk around the wall is very clear to see.
Different view of the harbor area of the walled city.
Late this afternoon we drive out to the countryside and visited a private, family owned farmstead and winery.  Our host showed us around the property before we entered into the dining room where we will enjoy farm fresh prepared food and fun local music. We had a ball.
Our host is a real fun person and the dining room is set for us  and we are surrounded with family items.  We have an incredible meal and fun music and dancing too into the evening.
We had a question and answer period which was lots of fun.
We learned of the type of wine that is grown and aged on this farm and winery.
We had lots of laughs and fun before dinner too.
We had so much fun we wanted to return the next night. No one wanted to go home.
And more wine.
The food just kept coming and coming and coming. I was glad that I had passed on lunch earlier in the day. I was stuffed.. but still ready for that desert and I was not disappointed either.  I remember not only did I eat my desert but that of another guest who could not eat another bite. I was ready for more..ha !!!
We listened to great music. We danced to it and everyone got up from the table  and formed a chain dance several times circling the room more than 4 or 5 times. No one wanted to leave when the evening ended. What a blast!   What great wine,  a fantastic dinner and incredible hospitality by our hosts. Thank you OAT for arranging this evening.
