Dubrovnik, Croatia- the highlight of the cruise

If you ever get a chance to head over to Eastern Europe (during the summer), you would be crazy not visit Croatia. It is an absolutely beautiful country, with beautiful water (although many beaches are rocky), and something we have not yet seen, but I can't wait to go back and explore- are the amazing waterfalls. After you've seen the usual tourist attractions in Europe or better yet, you want to go off the beaten path and see what the Western Europeans want to explore, go to CROATIA. We decided to walk the Old City Walls, go on a glass bottom boat tour of Dubrovnik, and then take lunch in a restaurant off the main famous street the Stradun. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

A working fountain, with fresh water that many people were drinking out of, including us

view of the walls and fort- it was quite a walk, but well worth it


the kids weren't keen on walking, but they would stop for a photo op along the way

I took so many pictures of the water; it was so beautiful
