The Baroque Church in Dubrovnik's old town.
The setting sun dyeing the hillside red behind Dubrovnik's old clock tower.
Apparently the washing in the old town (Dubrovnik) is the most photographed in the world!

Well I have been neglecting this poor wee blog I am ashamed to admit. It has been rather hard finding interent at times and often the computers are too old and dont have usb ports or fast enough internet for picture uploading. Well a quick update then. We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik, we escaped the tourist hoards and went to an island near Dudrovnik. Half the island (the side with the good view of Dubrovnik) was closed due to fire risk. However the nice park ranger decided we looked nice, or something, and let us through. So we climbed upto the old French fort there (Fort Royal) and were rewarded with a splendid view of Dubrovnik and the surrounding hills all to our selves! The Adriatic light was beautiful as it was approaching evening bathing everything in a warm, golden light. The area there was quite your typical lovely mediteranian sort, lots of cyrpus tree, lemons, limes and olive trees. Oh and much to Kelly's delight lots of magnificent Bulgumvarias. Our next stop was Kotor in Montenegro, the worlds newest country! There we were treated to a old medieval walled town set in Europes deepest fjord with the most crazy castle I have seen perched on the mountain side above it, the walls went from the sea to almost the top of the mountian side. However that shall have to be fuel for my next post. I hope you are all well and safe!
Take care!

Craig and Kelly
