The end of July might not be the best moment to write about our trip to Dubrovnik last December, but in the words of our prophet Michael Scott: Sometimes I’ll start a sentence, and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way, consider this blog posts one of such improvs.
I’ve been to Dubrovnik at least four times, mostly during summertime. Visiting the Old Republic in winter is a whole another experience where you feel like the town is only yours to explore. No tourists or sunstrokes from July temperatures and off season prices are much more affordable.
Even though I had been to Dubrovnik many times, this was the first time when I actually got to walk along the historic City Walls during which we met a total of five-ish people. We observed the town from above with the Adriatic on one side and stone houses, schools, orange tree gardens and churches on the other. Everywhere you go, you can see the remnants of its centuries long history.
Waves crashing against the old stone walls and forts is one of my favorite things about Dubrovnik, when the sea is angry and the wind picks up. It takes you back in time and you can almost see old trading ships coming and going with precious cargo on board. I’m sure they had to undergo a very important inspection by local cats, too. Some things never change. God bless.
