Normally, I studiously avoid anything that could be construed as the least bit disturbing. I am squeamish. I shun movies with violence. I look away from road kill. I avoid hospitals. I don’t eat meat.So it was a little out of character for me to seek out War Photo Limited, a Dubrovnik gallery dis…

I stayed with my aunt in the "old town". I went with my best friend. Every morning we'd wake up at sunrise and go to bed late, past midnight. We were exhasted, yes, but the sights, sounds, and aromas were spell binding, especailly the sea food!

Finally reached Dubrovnik at 6.30pm. The hostel was located on the hilly side overlooking the bay in Lapad suburb in the peninsula. There was no other guest as summer season just ended. The hostel owner had arranged me to stay at another double bed guesthouse with old lady owner to save his hostel …

Saved by a beer!  Yesterday was quite a long day of travel and finding the lovely Villa Valjelo Guesthouse wasn’t the easiest of tasks at after ten at night, sweating uphill with a 70 litre backpack on my back.  So when I finally collapsed into the company of Neil, Josie, Sari, Brent an…

One morning for some reason I woke at 6am so decided to go into Dubrovnik, where I felt so privileged to have this beautiful city to myself, before the tour buses and cruise ships arrived. I wa…

Arriving in Dubrovnik:  We arrived at the port of Dubrovnik about a mile or two down the coast from the Old City.  The cabs were lined up to take us to the Old City for about 10 euros, if my memory is correct.  Of course the cruise ship had pre-arranged buses but they are always more…

What a lazy day today! Last night there was a terrible thunderstorm, as the dark cloud had announced. I had to get up in the middle of the night to bring all the stuff from our terrace inside. The wind blew so hard that our room (other nights always far to hot) was cold, and extra blankets wher…
