Today I leave for Zagreb, after a very pleasant stay in the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Comfortable lodging, good food, some wine and beer, history, people watching, music in the evenings, and the ocean. What more could one ask for in a place to visit?
Took a passenger ferry south to Cavtat for the day yesterday. Beautiful ride down the coast, small town on a tranquil cove. Croatia is, however, changing. A new hotel going up in Cavtat – and Peter at Villa Ragussa says property values in the Old Town have gone up ten fold since the war ended. During the day in the busy summer season, cruise ships will land 15,000+ tourists on the shores of Dubrovnik each day! Even so, the evenings remain peaceful.
A few pictures for your enjoyment….
