Cavtat is a quaint little town with all the quaint little things that make it picture perfect. Like this bell tower, for example. A small village with a village church, complete with bell tower. How idyllic. How charming. How picturesque. HOW HORRIFYING!
I am not quite sure for whom the bell tolls, but toll it does! I lost count at 50 times, but you will forgive me because I was a tad drowsy, given that it was only 6 AM in the morning. Just in case anyone in town or the surrounding 50 villages missed the first call to revelé, the bell sounded 40 times again inexplicably at 6:53 AM. And like the annoying snooze button on the alarm clock that you can’t seem to disengage, it rang again at 7 AM, this time with 7 gongs to sound the hour. And again at 7:30 AM -1 gong for the half hour. Ahh the joys of provincial life! 8 AM is approaching and I wait in eager anticipation.
