Welcome to Dubrovnik, a beautiful city on the eastern coast of the Adriatic

An island off the coast accessible only by boat

Originally founded in the 7th century, the city wall is still intact

Fortifications in the old town

An ancient well

Streets still decorated for Christmas on January 4th

During the height of the tourist season these streets are packed with people

Lots of steps necessary to go about your daily routine

Exterior of a Museum

Inside there are memorials to those who died defending the city

and an ancient apothecary who now dispenses modern medicine

The harbor adjacent to the city wall

This main square can contain 16,000 tourists in the summer months

The plain exterior of this church hides its inner beauty

and distinctive expansive manger scene

Walking the city wall requires a lot of steep steps and inclines

Looking down from the wall

Some houses are directly adjacent to the wall

Looking down at the seaside

Assault from the sideside would be difficult here

View of the town of the wall

A defensive position but very quiet and serene now

Descending from the wall back down into the city

The Maritime Museum

These treadle sewing machine bases are used as tables in restaurants

Lunch in an Irish Pub

Our day in Dubrovnik is over

Our evening was spent with a local family visit
Dinner and music using traditional instruments
