Dubrovnik and nearby islands

The old town of Dubrovnik is a beautiful walled city, with a lovely harbour full of boats - very picturesque, and hard not to fall in love with. We wandered the white stone paved pedestrian streets, full of pizzerias, churches, palaces, souvenir and icecream shops. And of course we did a lap of the city walls, which had to be a highlight - admiring the views, descovering hidden cafes and swiming spots perched on rocks outside the city walls, and contemplating how over 2/3 of the tiled roofs we saw had to be replaced after the war and bombings of the 90s. Still, the city walls have got to be the most impressive I've seen.

Being a holiday, we decided to spend our last full day making the most of the hot weather and island and beach hopping... So we headed out to the Elafiti islands by water ferry, and spent a couple of hours on each lolling in the beautiful clean clear water, before heading on to the next island to find more beaches... and even a few sand ones! Feeling a bit sunburnt we headed out for our last croatian dinner, in the area of Lapad, a bay suburb known for its hotels and restaurants and relaxed vibe.
