Round The World and other travels
A frequent flyer's collection of trip diaries
October 2006 : Dubrovnik
Ah, Dubrovnik - known
for most of its history as Ragusa and immortalised by Byron as the
Pearl of the Adriatic. Hard on the heels of my first visit to the
Baltics, this was my first visit to the Balkans, and to a city that
had been on my famous wish-list for quite a few years. It lived up
to, and indeed surpassed, my expectations. My only regret was that,
having originally planned this trip as a long weekend, I ended up
curtailing it for work reasons. I felt I had enough time to do the
Old Town reasonable justice - and this is what everyone comes
to see, after all - but it meant that I saw nothing of the modern
city, the beautiful coastline (other than during my airport
transfers) and the islands. You've guessed it : I'll just have to go
back!
