Didn't spend a lot of time settling in. The advantage of the Easyjet flight is that because it leaves so early from Manchester it is barely even lunchtime now. So let's make a start.
First stop the cable car to the top of the hills behind the city. These are seasonal, but they have just started back up after the winter. If you're coming in the shoulder seasons, do check what is and isn't open. I was lucky at the very end of March that everything I wanted to do was open, but sometimes it can be into April before things open. Although busy by my standards Dubrovnik was virtually empty by its normal standards. Cruise ships hadn't started dropping hoards of visitors and very few stag and hen parties were around. But fortune favoured me with great weather and sunshine. T shirt weather for brits even if the locals were still wearing puffer jackets.

The views of the city from the top are great but there's not a lot there. There is a nice restaurant which I thought was pretty pricey, but as it turned out was not really any more expensive than the places elsewhere in the main tourist spots below. I had a whisky sour and took in the views. You can also see Lokrum island from here and Fort Lovrijenac.
