The theme for this week’s challenge from The Daily Post is Descent.
We have been walking for over an hour on the walls of Dubrovnik.
It was a delightful experience. There was no clouds in the sky; the sun was shining and basically there was no way to hide.
While walking the seawalls, we came across this café which is located half way down the steep cliff.
We were thirsty, the idea of descending down the steep stairs to the café shop did came to mind.
Fear of descending the steps finally won; we just carried on walking and finished the walk as quickly as possible!
We have been there!
I hope my photo is a bit more stunning – not enough!
I knew where it was immediately! Beautiful.
You have very good memory!
I would keep walking myself.

Similar minds think the same!
Amazing photo! That café wasn’t there when I walked along the walls with my husband 56 years ago.
Great that you can still remember the spot 56 years later!
Striking photo & stunning view for a moment of serenity! Looks scary though 🙂
It looks really scary but could be quite enjoyable looking out from the cliff while having coffee!
I think I would have made the same decision. Heights aren’t really my thing. Even the photo, while lovely, makes me nervous.
One of the reasons I took this photo was that if you draw a diagonal from left to right, the land is on the left side of the diagonal and the sea on the other!
Wonderful capture! Want to visit one of these days! 🙂
Hope you will be there soon!
Lovely place, the idea of sitting and enjoying the view would be worth it but I don’t think I could have walked it.
My shaky legs will simply have not let me, I and heights had a disagreement.
Yes, many of the readers who responded also said they rather skipped the coffee!
The only problem with that sort of descent is that you have to go back up again. Gorgeous view though.
Yes, agreed. But for some people with bad knees, walking down is a bigger problem!
This is true.
🙂
Wow! I agree, it almost gives me vertigo just viewing the photograph! … I think I too would have kept walking! Striking image though! 🙂
It was a bit scary, I must admit. Regards, Michael
Wow…I want to go to Dubrovnki!
It is a place not to be missed, Leah!
Reblogged this on Life after work and commented:
For me the theme would be Petrified!!
many thanks for reblogging this on!
GREAT !!!!!
Thank you, Isadora!
This place is absolutely breathtaking!
Thank you, Cindy!
I am afraid of heights but oh what a lovely sight. 🙂
Glad that you like this picture!
Dubrovnik has to be one of Europe’s most beautiful cities-& walking the walls in late afternoon one of the best experiences. Beautiful!
I have been lazing there by the sea, it was really lovely!
Michael, there is no way to descend down to Buza (hole) bar from the wall. You must go back into the old part of town and make your way on the side alley next to the wall until you find the hole in the wall. Next trip here, I will take you there the easy way.
That’s true. I tried and found the “hole” you refer to. By that time, I was no longer thirsty!
hello michael lai its dennis the vizsla dog hay i am with yoo that is way too menny stairs for me!!! ok bye
More steps to come, see my today’s post !
