Dubrovnik

Great game last night - Liverpool vs Chelsea. We have heard a lot of Croatians talking about it today including the host of our accommodation in Dubrovnik.

Travel down here was a mixture of the very fast on the brand new A1 toll-road and the very slow on small and lumpy minor roads when the motorway ran out. Its under construction all the way to Dubrovnik. Took a detour over the hills so we could get a vista of the Adriatic at Malacka. Turns out there was a war memorial there to all the locals who died in the recent conflict.

We have chalked up Bosnia - Hertzegovina on our world travels now - a short stretch of road 9.3km long, only stopping to flash Tim's passport.
Dubrovnik is very beautiful. Our Villa Busovina is on the hillside overlooking the old city with no vehicular access so very quiet.

We have completed a circuit of the old walled city in preparation for a big day of sightseeing tomorrow. Once again we are thankful we are here in the off season as we hear the main street of the old town is the busiest street in Croatia in the Summer.
