Dubrovnik, Croatia, Click here for pictures

I went on a bus to Dubrovnik, Croatia today to see their Old Town. I left at 5am again. It was beautiful and took me about five hours to walk through. Nothing was in English. I don't know anything about the history of the fortress except it dates back to the 12th century. I plan to look it up tomorrow on my long bus ride to Sarajevo.

This gated community was covered with thousands of tourists snapping photos at every corner. It was overwhelming and annoying. This is why I like where I am in Budva. It is more communal with families around and the beaches aren't packed. There are so many good places just to get fresh fruit and buy homemade pastries. Everyone is friendly. I have been here for a week and feel it is time to move on. Tomorrow I'm going to Bosnia.
