Day 25 Croatian port city of Dubrovnik
What can I say about Dubrovnik? I went to the 'Grad' which is the old city to find a almost completely restored old walled-city beside the Adriatic sea. First impression was that when I was looking at the old buildings and streets of Dubrovnik, I was taken back to medieval time, only the people are modern day people, mainly tourist, like me. Second impression was that it was heavily commercialised to cash in on the tourists money.
After taking lots of photographs and exhausting myself from walking around the beautiful old city, I sat down at a cafe to eat a salad and drink some coffee and do what the other diners do - watch the world go by.
As I was walking around the 'Grad', I was thinking 'What makes this place so special?'. Feng Shui was on my mind - the city was facing the sea and had mountains in the back. The city was also south facing - another good Feng Shui characteristic. To have both of these features is rare and it was what I think makes Dubrovnik so special. I used a

Dubrovnik is one of the 10 best medieval walled cities in the world and it is on the UNESCO list of World heritage Sites.
I did more walking around the Grad and took more pictures and by 5 pm I got tired and decided to go back to the camp site. That evening, the dinner was simple, consisting of stirred fried vegetables and tomato soup. I ended up going to the toilet several times that night because of that almost all liquid dinner.
A late evening stroll at the nearby beach completed an almost perfect day in Dubrovnik.
Enjoy the photographs, there are many of them and I may only annotate some of these pictures.
