All of the red roofs behind me have been replaced in the last 15 years after the Serbo-Croatian wars in the 90's and a few of the buildings have not been repaired since the last bombings but much of the city has bounced right back and is once again full of tourists from all walks of life and ends of the earth...

Exploring the fortress walls....

A view of the city from atop the fortress walls...We took a tour today of the ramparts and fortress walls. It took about two hours to make it all the way around the old city but so very worth it!

A Franciscan nun passing Onofrio's fountain in Dubrovnik, Croatia...this fountain has been supplying the city with water since 1444, the monastery that this nun belongs to has been in operation since the 12th century. By the by, just under the orange tree in the back is the pay-phone where I've been making my calls home! ( ;

Boats at dock in Dubrovnik,Croatia...I've made it from the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, in the North of down to the southernmost city of Dubrovnik, much of the day was spent on the beach and exploring the old town within the fortress walls...

Finally in Dubrovnik, Croatia! A very long road trip into Dubrovnik, the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'!

Climbing the summits...
