The blur of Dubrovnik

The last 10 days has flown. It seems like only yesterday we were leaving Montenegro, with my excitement boiling over at the arrival of the beautiful Miss brown.

Since her arrival, the town of Dubrovnik had become our own. The old town with all it's charisma and romantic charm hasn't failed to produce a gem or two of an evening, that which rings loudly in my mind was mine and Sarah's dance under the old town clock, showing the middle aged cruise couples how it was done I say!

This is not to mention the long, sunny days on the beach and in the immaculate sea (Sarah even had a splosh, and WASN'T attacked by any sharks!!) as well as kayaking, wall walking and mountain hiking.

The town itself is undeniable in its character. Nestling between mount srd and the Adriatic, it isn't difficult to reach high ground and enjoy the views across the harbour, lapad peninsular, the old town (of course) and the Dalmatian coastline off towards Montenegro. In fact, from the top of the cable car (or the walk should you not be so frivolous) of mount srd, it is possible to bask in the panorama of said landmarks, over a Dubrovnik-priced cup of coffee.

After what felt like a day, Sarah departed (gutting), overlapped by the presence of his royal dudeness, and just today Sam departed after 6 weeks of travelling with the snores of yours truly.

So a couple more days under the relentless sunshine of dubrovnik (don't mistake this sentence for any sort of complaint) and I'm back. Spending sterling and eating british rump steak.

Hard life.
