Today we took a day trip to Lokrum Island. Lokrum is a 15 minute ferry ride from Dubrovnik and is within view of the city walls. It's a nature reserve with a peacock population, a botanical garden with specimens from around the world, and an old fort and monastery. Most folks were there to go swimming in the sea. The approach is quite rocky but there are mounted ladders along the coastline for access.
Mr. Snootypurse went swimming and pronounced it nice and warm. I was only brave enough to wade as you can see in this picture. We hit the local farmer's market before getting on the boat so we took a picnic over. Cherries, peaches, and apricots are already in season in this area.
