Snapshots from Dubrovnik

Janet Camilleri · 30/09/2015 ·

I never thought it would happen – such a momentous holiday, I was sure every little detail would be forever imprinted on my memory.

Alas, just four months after our return I am finding that my memories of the various Mediterranean ports are all jumbled up, and I can’t recall if we did “this” in Marseilles or Majorca,  or if “that” walled city/castle was in Malta, Split or Dubrovnik. Thankfully we took loads of pics!

In fact, my clearest memory from our day in Dubrovnik was that the hubster and I had a little tiff. Yes, just two days after our 25th wedding anniversay! It just goes to show, not even the happiest of marriages (which ours is) is perfect … we really *do* get grumpy and cross with each other, sometimes!

But I don’t have any photos of our tiff, so I’ll just have to show you some of the sights we saw instead 😉  …

We spent our day in Dubrovnik exploring the “old city” and the area around it.

In the mid-afternoon heat, we paid the small fee to walk around the top of the city walls (is it any wonder we had a tiff when we were both tired, hot and cranky?!). At least we were treated to some fantastic views … and I’m pretty sure you can’t tell we were grumpy with each other (or at least I hope you can’t!) …

So much history in Europe, it still blows my mind to think my feet have trod streets that were paved hundreds of years ago … and my hands have touched walls that were built thousands of years ago!

How do you stop your memories fading, after a very special holiday?!

    Love your photos of Croatia Janet. I am looking forward to doing my cruise in 2017 and checking out all of these amazing places on the Mediterranean Sea.

      We are swapping holidays with you! We are (most likely) off to the USA in 2017 for my 50th 😉
