George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik paradise on earth. Hes a famous poet, and Id have to say he is correct. Truly amazing, picture perfect, laid back and beautiful. Weve been here for the past 2 days, forgetting how to use punctuation, I mean check out this keyboard čžšđć.
Ive explored all of the old town, full of a huge city wall surrounding the city, even on the water. The inside has fortresses, monestaries, churches and much more. There is a huge street in teh middle with tons of shops and restaurants, serving the traditional risotto along with seafood.
Today I hiked to the highest point around, with amazing views of the nearby islands and the city. Up top was also an old bombed building from the wars in teh early 1990s, bullet holes, random used landmines nearby crosses and lots of rubble. A different side than the amazing, tourist filled old town.
We are staying with a hilarious old Croatian Couple, getting a room with a balcony for cheap.
Tomorrow we travel on to Montenegro, Kotor to be exact, to meet up with a friend there for a few days and stay with him. Supposed to be better beaches and crazier cliffs. Pretty excited about it as we make out way down to Greece over the next week.
Hope all is well.
