It starts in the old town (like so many of my DR's do:)...then I climb up some steep, way too narrow stairs to the wall that encloses the old town. For a nominal fee you can walk around the top of it and see all of Dubrovnik from an unbeatable vantage point! I highly recommend visiting this "Jewel of the Adriatic"...I'm sure you all remember the wars that went on in this region...Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Serbs, Montenegrians, the Yugoslav Army and the like (early 1990's)? Well, mortars were basically lobbed down onto this town shelling out a large part of it. Now, after rebuilding you can see a stark contrast from the new and old. I'm attaching some pictures from that trip:)

That might be the most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen. I can't believe you got to walk along there. Just shows how smart you are!!
ReplyDeleteAfter I walked around the wall and snapped tons of pictures (including this one) I came back to my room and looked through them to be mortified. It was a sunny day and I put on sunscreen, well, I also applied it to the front of the lens on accident:( See the annoying smudge? I was so upset I went back the next day and took all the same pictures...unfortunately that day was cloudy! So I have beautiful, smudged pics! But yes, the water was incredible there, absolutely incredible!
