Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is to Croatia, what Disney is to the wallet. It's expensive, lots of tourists, loads of shops of wears, and funny enough, it could fit into Disney itself. You can read all about the historic crap here. After a 9 hour night ferry from Bari, where the cheapest ticket possible, should you choose it, is a first come first serve 'stake your claim to some space on the deck', and some annoying ass Swedish teens doing the all night disco-tech a mere 50feet from us, we arrived in beautiful Dubrovnik.

One night, on this ferry...

I mean, this shit is BEAUTIFUL (all caps deserved for emphasis).

The waters are crystal, the scenery is story book, and the weather...well for us, it was cold, because as it has been with the rest of the trip, the rain just loves us. But putting that aside, we procured an apartment after a hefty vertical trek up the side of the hill.

not even a fraction of the climb

May not seem like much but with all your crap and over a 100 steps, it was well earned

We spent a good day exploring Old Town Dubrovnik proper, an old fortress town nestled on the coast. It doesn't take much time really, it's quite small. The many churches are free to explore, but the old protective wall and anything else of interest require some Kuna. We had a few hours of sun, which the pictures show, but our old passenger, rain, quickly returned to hang with us.

A hole in the fortress wall lead to this private "beach"

This is actually a rather boring post. The only notes of interest were us eating some "nachos" at a vegetarian restaurant, and enjoying a much needed night of rest. Most of our second day was us getting our arrangements to Sarajevo. Since there were really no safe roads for us to comfortably travel by bike, we took a bus and 7 hours and a load of beautiful scenery later, we arrived in Sarajevo...
