    Onwards and upwards in Dubrovnik

    Onwards and Upwards
    Never has a saying been more apt than here in Dubrovnik.
    Everything is either up a hill or down one. Our apartment is up 67 steps with no road unless you go back down or go up another 100 plus so the bike is about ten minutes away tucked between two scooters on a footpath. Smart cars park at 90 degrees because parking spaces are so hard to find.
    What a beautiful place this is as you will see from the photos, stunning views. Today is my third full day and Mandy's fifth. We have been to the nearby town of Cavtat on a boat which took 45 minutes to get there. We had paid 15 euros each at the ferry landing but others had paid 50+ through a third party so if you come here beware. We went for a walk around the city wall in the rain today which takes over an hour and was very nice despite the weather like everything else here it is up and down but worth it. There are several nice churches and every restaurant we are in had very good food well cooked. Price can be high but not everywhere.

    On Tuesday morning Mandy fly's home and I head for the border crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina then if I get in I head for a hostel in Mostar where I will stay a few days until the weather improves and I can head for the mountains of Montenegro.
