         		 Martina, Klaudia and Marija - Our Dubrovnik crew.: by maria_brett, Views[456]
         		 .....as you can see. It's a shame this photo is not a scratch and eat!: by maria_brett, Views[412]
         		 Dinner in Dubrovnik with Klaudia, Marija and Martina. We broke our rule against going to themed restaurants but boy was it worth it! The food was divine..... : by maria_brett, Views[472]
     
    Night time in one of the many alleyways in Dubrovnik.: by maria_brett, Views[650]
         		 Maria - the aussie..no, croatian...no, aussie..., no croatian tourist. It all depends on who we meet and what they want from us.: by maria_brett, Views[474]
         		 Brett, the aussie tourist.: by maria_brett, Views[484]
         		 We still stop to do autographs too!: by maria_brett, Views[466]
         		 This one is available for sale at many Dubrovnik bookstores (and there are many!): by maria_brett, Views[539]
     
    Wandering through the alleyways of Dubrovnik.: by maria_brett, Views[493]
         		 ... but when we boarded the little boat to take us there we were taken to this mother... of a cruiseship instead with all its legit passgenger. We got there eventually!: by maria_brett, Views[460]
         		 One of the nearby islands in the bay that we intended to visit for the afternoon....: by maria_brett, Views[466]
         		 This photo was even spotted on a website in Kyrgyzstan...: by maria_brett, Views[431]
         		 One of the many pics taken by the passing busloads of Japanese tourists. : by maria_brett, Views[448]
     
    Maria taking a call from her agent. : by maria_brett, Views[469]
         		 No description required. The wow factor was definitely there.: by maria_brett, Views[455]
         		 We found a little rabbit-warren hole in the wall that brought us out onto the other side and into this bar by the sea.: by maria_brett, Views[607]
         		 Cute old houses that survived the bombings intact.: by maria_brett, Views[492]
         		 A common sight within Dubrovnik - old terrace houses with laundry.: by maria_brett, Views[514]
     
    The view from within one of the wall towers.: by maria_brett, Views[486]
         		 Note the colours of the rooftops. The yellow-orange tiles are original, while the terracotta ones were donated by UNESCO during the rebuilding of the town after it was partially destroyed during the war.: by maria_brett, Views[597]
         		 Brett really wanted a wife-beater tan, which he found out is easily obtained if you walk around on top of a wall for 3 hours in the middle of a summer's day without 30+. The camera-strap tan was a great addition too!: by maria_brett, Views[612]
         		 The main drag within the walled city. An ancient statute enacted in around 1272 governs precisely how these buildings can be erected and maintained in uniformity, so that no building blocks the view or sunlight from other residents.: by maria_brett, Views[482]
         		 The view from our balcony in the balmy late afternoon. Note the size of one of the many trans-Adriatic cruisers that easily dwarfs the old city. These ships would cruise in during the morning and leave only hours later.: by maria_brett, Views[674]
     
    This map of Dubrovnik shows the exact locations that suffered damage during the war that raged here only 15 years ago - the dots marking structures that suffered direct hits. The city has largely been rebuilt.: by maria_brett, Views[605]
         		 X marks the spot - the view from the old town back up the 538 steps to where we stayed.: by maria_brett, Views[601]
         		 Staying at an apartment on a hill overlooking this stunning old city comes at a price - all 538 steps (one way). It's no wonder that the calves on the legs of locals are the size of a Mack truck.: by maria_brett, Views[537]
         		 One of the many cornerposts of the wall, guarded by St Blaise on all sides - who has watched over Dubrovnik for centuries.: by maria_brett, Views[549]
         		 The ancient walled city of Dubrovnik in Croatia's far south. Once an integral trading port during the times of the Ottoman and Roman empires, it was clear that this city is the gateway to the world.: by maria_brett, Views[660]
     
    Dubrovnik, on Croatia's very south coast is actually surrounded on 3 sides by Bosnia and the other by the sea. To drive to Dubrovnik you must first go through separate Cro/Bos border checkpoints when leaving Croatia, and then respective Bos/Cro checkpoints again about 8km later on the other side. We were astounded to hear that Croatia has started building a 3km bridge from the Croatian side in the north (photo, right hand side) to the peninsular, which eventually adjoins Dubrovnik in the south - hence bypassing Bosnia altogether.: by maria_brett, Views[630]
         		 We would say this was 'typical' Dalmatian scenery, but it was more spectacular than anything else.: by maria_brett, Views[444]
         		 In a land of lunar-like landscapes, it was always a treat to drive almost literally into these gorgeous lakes. When the car is hissing from the heat you could almost believe that the car was driving itself towards these lakes, or 'jezera'. : by maria_brett, Views[556]
         		 Driving near Bosnia we passed about 4km of these roadside stalls. Not unusual except for the exceptional olive oil they sell, and the way that they pump water from the irrigation systems behind them to spray over their piles of watermelons in fountain-like fashions. Passing waterfall stalls like these every 15 metres can transport you to another time, or world, or just Bosnia perhaps!: by maria_brett, Views[614]
         		 Walking through the quiet old town of Omiš the next day, we were stopped by this dear old man and invited in to see his cellar - all because he'd asked for the empty plastic water bottle we were about to throw into a nearby bin. He made us try his homemade orhavac - a Croatian tipple (read
     
    Swimming in the Cetina River. Ahhhh, so cold and refreshing on a balmy day. What are you smiling about, Maria?: by maria_brett, Views[579]
     
         		 But be careful not to admire the local produce too closely! Actually, these guys and girls were only too happy to show off their toothless smiles.: by maria_brett, Views[523]
         		 Can you see why the sunflower is now my (Brett's) favourite? They're so stunning - and this farmer was tending to his crop so diligently. Next time you pick up a flower from a market, imagine the love and care gone into it!: by maria_brett, Views[523]
         		 We found out why european cars are so compact - in some parts of europe the roads were built many centuries after some villages, not the other way around. This road is a major thoroughfare linking mountainous towns with the ever-important coastline.: by maria_brett, Views[478]
     
    Our cute little hire car (left-hand drive), in a cute part of the world near Omiš - a very typical residence with the obligatory grapevines which sometimes overgrow everything in sight.: by maria_brett, Views[443]
         		 This is no ordinary disco!!!! We were walking around the headland of Markarska and stumbled - quite literally - across this disco that was built into the side of the cliffs. We walked down some rickety steps over the edge of the cliff face and found a 2-level bar/nightclub in full swing, with the lower level built into a natural cave about 30 metres long, with the water gushing under see-through floors below our feet. However, nothing could excuse the 14 year-old dj who hadn't heard of Madonna... Shameful really.: by maria_brett, Views[663]
         		 Markarska - Croatia's answer to Bondi beach. Be sure to bring your rubber mats for lying on the rocky sand, rubber shoes for walking anywhere, and blow-up bed for floating - not surfing - in the water.: by maria_brett, Views[619]
         		 How could we have missed this speccy moment!: by maria_brett, Views[509]
         		 Oh, we were there too!: by maria_brett, Views[518]
     
    As the sun sets over the Adriatic... time for another crisp, chilled vino. Pass me some prawns, would ya?: by maria_brett, Views[447]
         		 Luckily there was a pool on hand to put into this shot - otherwise it would've been a non-event.: by maria_brett, Views[508]
         		 Mmmmmm, yum... And the seafood looks nice too!: by maria_brett, Views[477]
         		 Hmmmm, I wonder if there's a spot by the sea where we could enjoy some seafood and the sight of the setting sun...: by maria_brett, Views[487]
         		 Three hire car places and too many coffees and dodgy car-trip cds later, Maria, Klaudia and Brett made it to the gorgeous old town called Primošten - a small island peninsula on the Dalmatian coast.: by maria_brett, Views[473]
