Walking the Walls

Toshi and I walked the ancient walls of Dubrovnik and it was really spectacular! The most amazing part is that people actually made them without the help of any modern technology: no cranes, no cement mixers, nothing but what they could make themselves. The fact that the walls are still here is phenomenal and it really shows how people can put their minds to something and make it happen. They don't make walls like this anymore (photos coming soon).

The Great (?) Walled City of Dubrovnik

What can I say about this place... the Old Town is completely encircled by tall stone walls to defend the city (and once its own country) of Dubrovnik from attack by land or sea. It didn't do much to protect the city from the Serbian assault by air during the 1990s, but we won't dwell on that. Dubrovnik is beautiful, but it is very built up for tourists and you can always see groups of people flashing away with their cameras. I have to say i am a bit disappointed with this place. Perhaps I built it up too much in my mind?

The best part of Dubrovnik for me is the fact that Toshi will fly here tomorrow and I will finally get to see him and hug him!
