Michael Taylor arrived from London to Dubrovnik on March 2nd and was supposed to return to Great Britain at the end of March, but the situation with the corona virus kept him in Dubrovnik. For many years, Taylor has been coming to Dubrovnik on average twice a year, where he stays for a month in one of Dubrovnik's five-star hotels. Last year he visited Dubrovnik three times, and the last time was during the Christmas and New Year holidays. His favorite time in Dubrovnik is during the off-season, when it is quiet, without crowds, and the weather is still nice.

This tourist was visited at his temporary home in Dubrovnik, the Hilton Imperial Hotel, by the Director of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, Ana Hrnic, who gave him a gift to keep as a memory of Dubrovnik.

Taylor said that he was very happy to be in Dubrovnik during a time like this. He feels safer than in the UK, where, he said, there are a lot of deaths from COVID-19. Taylor is in no hurry to return to his home mostly because of safety, but also because of the cleaner air, the more beautiful landscape, the friendly mood of the people of Dubrovnik. He is grateful to everyone for their help and kindness during his stay. He was first housed in the Dubrovnik Palace Hotel, where he enjoyed the view of the Reefs, then in the Excelsior Hotel where he watched the island of Lokrum from his balcony, and now stays longest at the Hilton Imperial Hotel, where he sits, reads and admires on his balcony overlooking the Lovrijenac Fortress and the Old Town.

Taylor walks daily to Gruz, visits the green market and continues to Lapad Bay. While doing so, he began to meet acquaintances with whom he always talked from a safe distance. As soon as the hair salons opened, he was among the first to have an appointment for a haircut. Yesterday he felt especially happy because the cafes are open, so he can also enjoy coffee. Now, he says, he has everything he needs!
