Croatia- Spring Holiday Part 2 of 5
We touched down in Dubrovnik after a somewhat scary ride via Click Air from Barcelona. Seems that seat belts are not always included in their bargain rates.
After kissing the ground we were overwhelmed with the beauty of this glorious UNESCO jewel of the Adriatic. The scent of Orange and Lemon blossom filled the air and the sea sparkled in the Spring sunshine. We ended up spending 5 days after we had planned on only 3. After those 5 days we headed a bit further up the coastline via Bosnia (good place to stop to buy your essential cartons of cigarettes. Tell ya, this is the place to take up smoking!) to Split. We weren't quite ready for how touristy the place was and were followed around for the first few hours by strange old men offering us rooms to stay in and calling out "cheap cheap" as we hurried off in the opposite direction. We were charmed a bit more on the second day as we wondered around the incredibly old city (we're talking 6th Century BC!). The old town, like Dubrovnik, was riddled by tiny alleys and streets that opened onto paved squares, with tiles worn shiny from centuries of wear.
Anyway have a look at what we saw:
Split Harbour
This happy fellow decided to follow us for a little while around the island town of Korcula, a day trip we took from Dubrovnik. This is the second ultra friendy labrador we have encountered on our RTW trip. The first beling in Turkey) So we named him Woofio II.
I was actually watching a photo shoot happening outside of the shot.

Apparantly one of my great great grandfathers, Vincent Gercovic, was the first official Croation imigrant to Victoria. I must visit the old country one day, especially if your photos are anything to go by.
