Dubrovnik Old Town
View of dubrovniks old town from the bitch ass hill behind it Once we got to dubrovnik i said my goodbyes to the girls and went to a hostel.. where i bumped into an aussie couple i met in split after checkin in and chuckin me bags down i went out and had a few beers with them and some other people from hostel..
i didnt really like the Hostel got no sleep there and they didnt even know if there would be room for me the next night so i left and went and found an apartment.. once i got to the apartments i dropped my stuff off and went for a walk to the old town.. the old town was shelled durin the recent war and so all the roofs were re-tiled so they look new.. once wonderin around the old town and takin pictures for quite a few hours i also noticed that dubrovnik wasnt the cheapest place around thing were quite expensive becuase it is a masive tourist city, after that i went back to the apartment and slept..
the next day i went back to the old town for another look then i made my way out and towards the mountain that is behind the old town..
from the side
picture from outside the old town i found a path way up and started to walk up..there was a clearly laid out path to the top some people had said there wasnt and it was mined... if they had bothered to look they would of seen different.. it took a fair while to get to the top, i was expectin the buildin at the top to be a cafe or nice bar lookin out over of dubrovnik..instead it was just a shot up abandoned bulding with a radio tower stickin out of it... be a good buisness opportunity openin up a resaurant there with the good view of the old town... once havin a wonder around the abanded buildings and havin to dogs come from no where lookin like they were gonna attack me but instead just run straight past no idea wat they were doin or where they were goin but they were on a mission, i made my way down which took alot less time then goin up.. after that i went to go suss out where the bus station was... and thanx again to lonely planet for putting it in the completely wrong place to where it was.. i decided to walk around
On the castle walls
picture from on the castle walls the island to get to where the bus station actually is.. most of the walk around the island was pathed until i got to a part that wasnt so i decided to walk along the rocks after a while it got un-walkable and i couldnt turn back.. so i rock climbed my way up then went push bashin and found my way back onto the road.. after a long walk i found the bus station tryed to book a ticket but couldnt do so because there was and election or somthin.. so i made my way back to the apartment and relaxed and had a home cooked roast cooked for me by the lady the owned the apartment.. been a while since i had a good roast.. after that i went for another walk around then back to the apartment and back to bed
the next day the lady who ran the apartment gave me a lift to the bus station which was cool of her..
then i booked my ticket to Mostar and was on the bus to Mostar
