11 June 2012: This was a difficult day, although the 45km journey to Dubrovnik was expected to take an hour, extended delays at the border crossing from Montenegro to Croatia, followed by a dusty and very shaky ride for half the journey on an unsealed road in the process of being built and then finally as we entered Dubrovnik, road works on a new roundabout had totally grid locked the town. So after checking out 3 campsites and sitting in a traffic jam we drove back out of town to finally arrive at Campsite Kate at Milini, 4hrs later, a very tranquil and well appointed place. Dubrovnik from the road out of town: 12 June 2012: We took the bus into Dubrovnik after a failed attempt at taking a boat which had been cancelled due to the windy weather. We walked around the high-lights of Dubrovnik including around the entire city walls which involved hundreds of steps, we were glad of the wind as the temperatures were soaring. Had a delightful inexpensive vegetarian lunch in a back street restaurant recommended by the Rough Guide but later had the most expensive 2 beers (.5cl and .33cl) we have come across on this trip at £6.50 in a bar just off the Placa. Only yesterday in Montenegro the same thing would have cost £1.60, something to do with the cruise ship element it seems! None-the-less this is an amazing and beautiful city and just thumbing through a book with photos of the desecration inflicted in the early 1990’s war was an eye-opener to the massive restoration work that has taken place since. Some photo’s from our walk along the city walls, spot the soaring swallows: 13 June 2012: Happy Birthday Steve Ralph!
