After leaving Alexandria we had two days at sea. During this time we learned of the demonstrations in Cairo and Alexandria and that a US citizen was killed. It looks like we left Egypt in good time, it dosen't sound like things will be settled there for a long time. Dubrovnik.....what a contrast by comparison - beautiful clear, deep blue waters, clean streets and beautiful historic buildings in the old town. We walked off the ship early so when we entered the old town through the city wall gates, the town was still waking up and it was peaceful and quiet....a big contrast to the noise of Alexandria. Caught the cable car up to the hilltop and had amazing views of the town. We saw Orlando's Column, St Blaise Church and the Rectors Palace....the Italian influence obvious everywhere you look - stunning old buildings. Would be lovely to come back and explore more of the Croatian coast line.
