Dubrovnik

If you only do one town on this coast you must do Dubrovnik - it is pretty near perfect. And although rebuilt many times after earthquake and war there are still 13th century buildings and 18th century jostling for prime positions.





And a moat with drawbridge, and a few km of intact ( rebuilt in places ) city wall which you can walk around imagining sieges and all kinds of happenings on the ramparts.










The second series of Game of Thrones was apparently filmed here and it makes a fitting Kings Landing, full of many dark deeds indeed.

But today we visited the Fransician Monastery with its pharmacy dating from the 13th century, one of the first in the world with continuous operation till today. And also one of the churches complete with Saintly relics - a few legs and various arms and hands requiring special prayers !!!

We had a lovely if hot day sampling the gelato and coffee and shops and watching the crowds pass by in the tiny steep alleys and broad main street. And also outside the walls there were many different boats and other sights to see.





See you soon

Love Wendy and Graeme
