Visting Dubrovnik, Croatia ...

Well, there was only one day on the cruise that was foggy and drizzled rain.  I still think the city of Dubrovnik is beautiful.  It was encircled by walls to protect it from the seafaringVenetians of long ago. I climbed all those steps and made it around the entire city ... I did better than some of the young ones on the tour!

Here are a few of my pictures...

The view looking down on Dubrovnik from the mountainside.

The main street of Old Dubrovnik looking down from the city wall.

The city was fortified against attack.  I climbed all those steps to view the city!

A fort on the bluff outside of Dubrovnik.

The old harbor ... too small for today's ships which use a newer port outside the city.
