Pearl of the Adriatic

Finally, the time had come.

After a delicious breakfast of porridge and fruits, we made our way to the old town of Dubrovnik. 🏰

In 1991, it was bombed and partially destroyed by the Yugoslav People's Army, but the old town, completely surrounded by city walls, has been renovated and rebuilt.

The beautiful town with its many narrow alleys and squares reminded us a little of Venice.

Many small restaurants and bars vie for the attention of guests. 🍝🍦

Amidst ridiculously wrapped Japanese tourists (some even wore gloves to protect their delicate Asian skin from the sun), we made our way through the city. But people quickly spread out as there was plenty to see.

Many scenes from the TV series Game of Thrones were also filmed in Dubrovnik!

We'll continue our journey tomorrow (23.6.) to the Plitvice Lakes 🏞
