    1Croatia is everything we expected and moreStart journey along the walls of the city. An hour to traverse, with incredible historic featuresThe bells starting ringing as we passed. Must be a 'tohu'The scenery is just majesticFortresses all around the walls, housed garrisons of men, to react to dangerTrvđava Minćeta - Fort Minĉeta built at strategic placementDesigning and then building of the walls that still stand today, is a feat of accomplishmentLooking down into one of the squares, where townsfolk would have congregatedCommunal gardens for those that live within Old TownTvrđava Bokar - Fort Bokar overlooked a small entrance bayAs late as 1991-1992, Dubrovnik and it's wall were called upon to defend itself from attack1991 Serbian and Yugoslavia bombed Dubrovnik damaging 6% of the Old Town, Independence of CroatiaThe Walls and The City stood firmThis place had a very special feeling for usSome of the ruins destroyed during the fighting for Independence of CroatiaTried to have her locked up......The location of our 'home" whilst here in this beautiful cityDuring the 1600- 1700's, cannons would have defended the Old Town from naval attacks3This 'mermaid' was discovered attached to the ancient shipwrecked anchorOld Town Harbour

    Dubrovnik - CROATIA

    May 22–25, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Three nights here at our Air BnB accommodation, met by our host Ivana.
    Spectacular views from here across to the "Old Town," the site of filming for the epic TV Series, Game of Thrones!

    Quick hello and show around, then drop our bags, and off for an easy 10-15 min stroll, to check out Old Town, as well as tour the City Wall, which is a must do!Read more
