Dubrovnik, Croatia

Our second stop was Dubrovnik, Croatia. One of the places we were not looking forward to as much, I mean, seriously? Croatia? Dubrovnik, I think impressed us both. We once again took the cruise ship offered transportation and had no official tour planned. It’s one of those very old European cities that’s surrounded by an impressive stone wall. We spent perhaps our first two hours wandering around the narrow hilly streets trying to figure out how to get up onto the wall. (We didn’t realize we had walked by one of the few entrances right when we walked through the front gate: there was a fee of course) Then we spent the next few hours walking the wall and taking an obscene amount of photos. The old city was beautiful, the craggy rocks were beautiful, and you could not believe how blue and clear the water was! All told we probably spent 4-5 hours in Dubrovnik, I don’t think we had anything to eat while we were there, before heading back to the ship. We each bought t-shirts and Hubbin bought a German car magazine (Apparently Croatia’s second most common language is German) I think going to Dubrovnik was worth it, it was a beautiful city. However I don’t really think it’s a “destination”… I feel like we spent 4-5 hours there and pretty much saw everything there was to see. Some of our prettiest pictures are from Croatia, but I don’t think we’ll be headed back there ever.
