Bright and early, we set off to the agreed pick up point near our campsite before 6 am. Unfortunately, we were still waiting after an hour's wait. We soon realised that we were not going to be picked up as the clock ticked 7.
Deciding that we should still do something, we had a second go at buying ferry tickets to Mljet National Park before demanding a refund back from the travel agency. Turns out, the tickets were sold out again, 2 days in advance. Deflated, we dragged our weary feet to the travel agency across the road and explained that the transportation bus was a no-show this morning. After a few minutes of back and forth, we learnt that the bus was waiting at Hotel Valemar Dubrovnik Club and we were waiting at Hotel Valemar Lacroma Resort. She kindly agreed to refund us but we were thoroughly disappointed about missing the adventure and the fact that we were getting 160 EUR back didn't change that.
Wandering around aimlessly for a while, we decided that the only thing which would cheer us up would be the extra dark chocolate gelato we eyed a couple of days ago in Old Town. This would be the best consolation prize. The cool morning air was starting to evaporate and the afternoon humidity and heat were starting to creep in again. We were soaked in sweat by the time we got to the gelato bar and collapsed in exhaustion in the comfy chairs.
After cooling our bodies down with 4 big scoops of gelato, we headed back to the campsite. Dubrovnik hasn't been the best city we have experienced in Croatia. We were definitely looking forward to our next stop: Italy.
