Dubrovenik

Just arrived in Dubrovenik, the old walled city which has fought off invaders over the centuries by forming an alliance with the pirates to keep out the Turks and Venetians and is almost from the exterior rebuilt after the bombings of 1995. We have found a room ( just from a hawker on the street) with aircon, kiwi friut vines and panaramic view overlooking the old city and will walk down this evening when the temps are lower as it is all uphill on the way back and about 36 degrees at present. The landscape on the drive down only 40-80kms p hr changed dramatically from the other regions and I could imagine myself transported into the days of sailing merchants and pirates. Croatia is amazing and Les and I have fallen in love with the people and the place.
