General impressions of Cavtat, a Croatian beach town

It was raining and the waterpolo team was not practicing in the sea. Waterpolo is extremely popular in Croatia since they won the Gold medal in the 2012 Olympics in London. Most members of the team are actually from this region and Dubrovnik. Kristel was surprised as you see on the picture.

We asked to take a few pictures from us at small port where you find in normal weather conditions a lot of activity. Normally boats are for rent, the restaurants and terraces full. We will not be defeated by the weather and enjoy the walk in Cavtat.

Het was aan het regenen en het waterpolo team was nog niet in de zee aan het oefenen. Waterpolo is heel populair in Kroatië sinds ze de gouden medaille gewonnen hebben op de Olympische spelen van Londen in 2012. De meeste leden van het team komen uit deze regio en Dubrovnik. Kristel was verrast zoals je op de foto kan zien. 

We vroegen een voorbijganger een foto van ons te nemen aan het water. Onder normale weersomstandigheden bruist het hier van het leven, bootjes verhuur, de restaurants en terrassen zouden vol moeten zitten. We gaan ons niet laten ontmoedigen door het weer en genieten van onze wandeling.

    I love the picture of the two of you, and also those fishing nets, and those quaint little shops.

    ik heb er ook nog verbleven...

    ik herinner me dat de gevolgen van de burgeroorlog in de omgeving nog goed zichtbaar waren...
