Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik's old city and the surrounding area are really, really, rediculously good looking, very charming, and captivating from the instant I saw it. The photos below were taken during my first two days here.






My place in Dubrovnik has a great view of the old city.






This is the walking path to the old city from my place.






Yep... the water is really that color here.






The 13th century fortifications that completely surround the old city overlook the dazzling blue Adriatic Sea. I walked along the top of the walls, all the way around. This gave me a great view of the Adriatic as well as the marble-paved streets and terracotta-roofed buildings.









The 15th Century Onofrio fountain was the water supply system for the city for many centuries. It really pays to get up before the tourist mobs.






As one might expect, the entire Dubrovnik old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
