Post Exam Adventure 2013: Day 1 : Dubrovnik, Croatia

During the planning stage, we managed to score British Airways's tickets for a bargain. I'm not sure what is the normal price for London-Dubrovnik flight ticket but thanks to Skyscanner, this was the lowest fair for the date that we've choose to start the trip.

( Ansari check that the price was almost £200pp a few days later, but we paid not even half of it)

I have to admit, traveling with BA is a first for me since we students would usually go for the cheaper option, low cost airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. Having to que for less than 3 minuted at London Gatwick North terminal, we start our trip with a smile.

Upon arriving at Dubrovnik airport, we took the airport transfer shuttle to the city center which cost 35,00kn or €5 (the'll accept either currency). The transfer it self was breath taking. Dubrovnik is different that other cities that I've visited.

Note : if using Euro, the unofficial exchange rate the shop uses is €1 = 7kn

We got off at the main bus station which is roughly 15 minutes to our accomodation by foot or easily accessible by bus no 8 if I'm not mistaken.

Property Name: GuestHouse Maria

Address: Andrije Hebranga 90, Dubrovnik, 20000, Croatia

The guest house has a great view of the Dubrovnik Port since it's only 5 minutes from it.

After resting for and hour or so, we took the no 8 bus heading towards the old town. When the bus stops near the cabel car station, we just got off and hop on the cabel car 1st instead.

Note: Buying ticket on the bus will cost you 15,00 kn while buying from an agent is 12,00 kn for a single trip.

The return trip price is stated more at the counter than what we actually paid (we asked for the student discount but the women said the student prices is only available during an exhibition, but at 94,00 kn, it is cheaper that the advertised 109,00 kn, so no complains there).
