Dubrovnik’s old city is one of the few places where we literally stopped and stared upon arrival, absolutely blown away by its incredible beauty. It is a vision in marble, pristine and shimmering in the light.
The only problem with it really is that you have to pay serious attention while walking or you smack into the back of somebody else that has stopped and is in mid-gawp.
Millions of people over hundreds of years have worn the marble to a very jandal-unfriendly surface
Even the ceiling of our hostel was epic. Once we had settled in, we joined the hordes of tourists for a wander around the battlements. Some of the biggest & best I've seen since Jodhpur.
Aside from walking there was plenty of coffee, massive slices of pizza and jazz bars. Everything you could want on your day out from the cruise ship...
So even though it was beautiful, it did leave us feeling like another cog in the tourist machine.
