The Lovrijenac is another location where Game of Thrones was filmed. This was where a tournament was held in honour of King Joffrey (good riddens!) In this part of the episode you see the Hound duelling another knight to appease the King. The hound struck and sent the other knight plummeting to his demise. Also, King Joffrey is convinced by Sansa Stark to spare the life of a man and to make him his new fool.
Ollie being the child he is inside found two planks of wood and decided he would pretend they were swords and have a duel against thin air. Very amusing to me, very strange to others walking past! At least he entertained himself for 5 minutes.
Myself and Ollie took a stroll here just after lunch, we could see the fort from our table at a resturant and were both intrigued as to what it was. On the way we passed Black Water bay but more on that tomorrow. We wanted to see as much as we could in the time we had and it was definitley worth trecking up lots of stairs for. We didn't realise that this was another GOT location as a lot of CGI is used to change the scenery and to add or restore walls. As for the resurant we went to, it was amazing. The staff were so friendly and the food was great so most days we would eat there and drink lots of pina colada's. They even treated me to a free birthday cheesecake, how sweet.
You don't get service like that over in England, waiters don't care about you, where as anywhere you go abroad they really take care of you. Birthday? free dessert. Anniversary? free drinks. They definitley earn their tips!
More to come on Dubrovnik tomorrow.
