Croatia

Dubrovnik is beautiful. We stay in a tiny apartment within the walled city, which runs up a hill from the harbour. It's all cobbled streets and steep narrow steps. In between the hordes of tourists following guides, the locals live their lives, though most live outside as the tourists pay more for rent. It is almost rebuilt since the 1991 war which destroyed so much. We're here with Torquay friends Cheryl and Joe. 
The new roofs show the extent of the bomb damage

These streets are very steep…

Fishermen shelters? Pirate caves? Who knows

Split is also very beautiful but seems more sophisticated. It has a wide harbour and promenade, and is built on flat land. The old town is a maze of streets, built around a palace. Shops, restaurants and apartments fill the buildings.
