So I flew off to Dubrovnik on Monday 9th with Pam for a few days - the only plan was to rest by the pool in the day time and visit the old city of Dubrovnik in the evening.
Well ... all went according to plan Aer Lingus dutifully got us there on time and then when we arrived at the hotel to check in it all went a little bit awry!!! our booking had been cancelled 2 days previous (nobody knows who did it!) and there was no accommodation available in the hotel or in fact any other hotel until Wednesday!!!!
So I won't bore you all with the details but we ended up in a basement apartment up in the hills with no kettle or any idea of where we were... all of a sudden 4 star became 0.5 of a star at best.
Heidi came past in the morning with the goats and we then set off on our trek downhill to find civilisation and more importantly tea .... in 30 degrees of heat and 91% humidity.
Any way enough we ended up in the hotel from the Wednesday and we reverted to the original plan.
Dubrovnik is an amazing city steeped in so much history... some of my photographs of the old city have been blended into a short film using Animoto (see right to view).
Do visit this beautiful city if you can.... a word of advice check your hotel booking before you go! and if you like tea take some with you...
