Old Town Dubrovnik












The beautiful marble streets of the Old City in Dubrovnik look just as stunning through my crappy Canon 1000D Camera, as they did in real life.  Luckily some of these photos were captured when there were tens of thousands of tourists surrounding me.  

Theres not much to do in the Old City of Dubrovnik, climb the city walls, go to the beach for the day, jump off the wharf, sunbathe, or eat in a nice street-side cafe, this city has been taken over by tourists.  It makes me sad to see that the touristing industry has become the dominant part of a beautifully historic place.  

In the summer time youll find it hard to walk these streets casually, youll spend most your time dodging oncoming traffic, especially when the cruise ships docks for a day and theres about twenty thousand walking tours taking place.  But, if and when you can, get the time to slowly stroll through the streets and down the alleys, youll appreciate the beauty of it.  

During my time in Dubrovnik I learnt how to live like a local, and even sitting here in Brighton, in 16 degree weather with torrential winds gusting about, I can imagine the streets so vividly in my head.  

Oh how I wish I could go back!
