Recommended: If you come to Dubrovnik, consider a boat tour of some of the nearby islands. If you have the chance, try and go with Marco, captain of the SS Kate. Marco talks like a Croatian version of the Swedish Chef, wears a denim vest, and will insist that you drink large quantities of his homemade brandy, which appears to be flavored with dill and gasoline. Marco may also try and marry you off to his son, or perform native Croatian dances with your mom. No promises, though. Those things may have been special moments, just for the Utgoffs.
Highly recommended: The Troubador, a bar in the old city featuring live jazz, starting every night somewhere between 9 and 10. The waitresses are genuine beer wenches, and the musicians only know some of the English words to their set of old standards, which includes 'As Time Goes By' and 'All of Me.' If you make eye contact enough times with the crusty old saxaphone player, he'll drag you up in front of the crowd to dance with him. Also, the pianist is surprisingly good humored about letting you take pictures of your sister leaning on his piano.
Not recommended: Going to the Troubador on the same day as your boat trip with Marco. You probably won't be able to walk in a straight line on the way home. Also, if you miss breakfast the next morning and try to order some french fries from the hotel kitchen, they'll shout 'Lazy girl! Lazy girl!' over and over at you, even if there are a lot of other people around. And you still won't get any fries.
