Dubrovnik

To say I was pretty impressed with the view from my room is an understatement.  Dubrovnik is a big place and built by people who had the same sure footing as mountain goats.  The streets switch back down the steep slopes to the water and homes are anchored to the rock.
 
Keeping one eye on the view and the other on road I spied a small sign saying rooms to rent.  There was a two metre square parcel of land that was the car park.  Miss time my braking and my bike would have made a sudden appearance into someone's lounge room below.
 
The owner was happy to let us have the room at a reduced rate as the summer season had not yet commenced.
 
 

The 'old' city - some of it is ancient and most of it several hundred years older than Australia.


I love the narrow lanes which tens if not hundred of thousand tourists walk down.  This is still a place where people live





 
 
This is one city that it would take months to see everything worth seeing.  We unfortunately only had one day.
