Dear All Greetings from Dubrovnik! Yay, I'm in Croatia, country number 91, for a week over our October half-term! My Croatian adventure includes two nights in Dubrovnik, two in Split, one night in the Plitvice Lakes National Park, and a final two in Zagreb. While looking at a map of Europe not too long ago, I realised that there are only seven European countries I've not yet been to. So the plan ... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

I look forward to the Split blog. Our main trips up the coast from Dubrovnik to Rijeka and inland to Zagreb are recorded in blogs in 2013 and 2015 - it took me a while to persuade my wife to return, after an initial visit to Zagreb some 10 years before. The adventures into Bosnia are also recorded in a seeies in 2013 - you might find them interesting for research if you plan a trip to Sarajevo and Mostar.

Ah, thanks John. I will certainly look those blogs up. I wonder if our Croatia blogs match as well as our South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland blogs! I loved my time in Croatia 😊

Never enough time
It sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed this city and could have used a bit more time. Everyone we know raves about Croatia and Dubrovnik in particular.... but I suspect that is true of several cities in this country. I know very little about the Homeland War. From photos I'm always taken aback by the beautiful architecture of this city. I"m glad you made it to Cavtat. When you fly into Dubrovnik to make connections to the countries not visited you should stay a night and take the cable car. Ah-- the Yugo... that wasn't much of a car. Safe and happy travels.

Dubrovnik
Yes, good idea - I was thinking of fitting in the Cable Car if I fly through Dubrovnik for either Bosnia or Montenegro on a future trip. I imagine you both would absolutely love a visit to Dubrovnik. The Yugo, lol! I heard many were sold in America, but the only way the car companies could shift them was to offer them as a freebie with a more "standard-sized" vehicle, lol! 😁

How I remember Dubrovnik
The red roofs of the historical city center is how I remember Dubrovnik. I was there in summer so it was very warm and packed with tourists. I also remember that now that I think back. I guess it was a bit cooler when you were there and somewhat fewer tourists. /Ake

Dubrovnik
Yes, the red roofs of Dubrovnik are really quite a sight! I don't think I'd have liked it in the summer with all the tourists, I much prefer to travel off-season. The temperatures were mild when I was there, and I had a bit of breathing space from other tourists which was good.
