Dubrovnik

We entered new territory with familiar names as we headed to the South of Croatia.

Made it Dubrovnik, going through Bosnia in the process, believe it or not we are not getting bored of the walled cities!

We had a great apartment with a view of the Walled Old Town, fortunately we never disturbed by the fire station across the street. (Yes Ladies, firemen are hot all over the world)

We spent a morning down the beach with beautiful views.




Dubrovnik is an incredible city, with gorgeous beaches, great food, exceptional shopping, a wall that you can walk along above the entire city and a remarkable history. It was a port for Ancient Greeks and Venetians before becoming independent in the 1400s. It was on a major trade route and then was conquered by Napoleon. Dubrovnik survived earthquakes and a devastating attack by the Yugoslavian army in 1991. The town pulled together and with help from Unesco (they really do a great job) they have become a unique experience!
