Postcards from Dubrovnik

Hi there. I’m back from Croatia, still feeling a little bit lost as I always do when I return home from a trip. I love to travel and don’t think I have ever felt homesick. In fact I am more likely to get sick when I get back to my normal day to day reality! Anyways we had a wonderful vacation. We lived around 5 km outside of the Dubrovnik center, on a peninsula with the, in Swedish, rather racy sounding name Babin Kuk. The old city of Dubrovnik was just as spectacular as one could have expected and share quite a few similarities with Venice, including being a massive tourist magnet. At first I was overwhelmed by all the touristy things, but after a while I grew more and more appreciative of this amazingly beautiful town. We also spent quite a lot of time visiting neighboring areas- some located in the archipelago that was perhaps one of the most stunning part of the visit. I also trekked down to Montenegro for a day, which was almost as breathtaking in terms of landscape.
