D8: Blue Cave & Bosnian Food

Our breakfast was so much food, which turned my early morning hanger into happiness. Our excursion today would take us on a small boat out on the Adriatic Sea to visit a beach then to explore some sea side caves with snorkling gear. The highlight of these caves is the Blue Cave, the entrance to which was disguised into the cliff wall and only a foot & a half above the water and perhaps just a few feet wide. Once through the entrance, it opens up splendidly to a large cavern the boat driver said could hold up to 40 people, which begs the question how they determined that number. The cave extended at least 30 feet into the wall and once at the back wall, we turned around to see the sun light reflecting through the water to create this magnificent blue scene. Breathtaking, or maybe that was just the cold shivers from being in the dark cave submerged in cold water.

We arrived back in Old Town shorty before 3pm where we then rode a cable car up 750M (2,250 ft) to the top of Mt Srd that offered a panoramic view of the city, its giant walls, and the sea. Stunning, and it was wild to think we'd walked around the city walls only the day prior. We were hungry and decided to head off to an early dinner at Taj Mahal, a place that served up delicious Bosnian food, and it was fortunate we went early since there a waiting list began shortly after we were seated. We ordered a ravioli of sorts, a pastry filled with meat & cheese, and a Kabab with veggies and mats to share family-style, a veteran move since it allowed each of us to try a little bit of everything.

We searched the city bakeries for baklava, a Greek desert my Dad likes, but to no avail. It was a Saturday and during the day, we saw at least three weddings. 

Dope.
