Sidewalk Cafes - in Dubrovnik

Finding a great place to eat was not difficult. There were many sidewalk cafes tucked here and there.

Dubrovnik - how could the Serbs even think about destroying such a beautiful city. Thank goodness the Croatians were able to rebuild.

While walking around Dubrovnik I became fascinated with laundry. I don't know why - perhaps just seeing the clothing flapping in the wind intrigued me. I can appreciate the fact that while we are pushing "going green" in the U.S., the Europeans have always been one step ahead of us in that regard. I do not have an electric or gas clothes dryer in our apartment in Riga. I have a very small fold up drying rack.

More laundry.

One morning we rented a sea kayak which was fun and great exercise.

Cavat, Croatia

Touring Cavat on a Honda 100, not quite the BMW road bike/Scenic road along the coast/Cafe where we enjoyed a much needed cappuccino, and the lovely boat docks. Cravat is not flooded with tourists everyday which made it a lovely place to visit.

Cavat-Beautiful Small Village

We enjoyed a wonderful nature walk and of course, I had to see what I thought was a snake. I overhead a guide telling her group that indeed, this was not a snake; however, if it looks like a snake and slithers like a snake, IN MY MIND, IT MUST BE A SNAKE.

Korcula Town (Croatia)

We stayed overnight in the Hotel Villa Diana - felt it quite appropriate. It was within walking distance to the bus depot and served a lovely breakfast. Photos of St. Nicholas Church and a small cafe where we enjoyed lunch with a woman from The Midlands, England.

Korcula Town (Croatia)

Korcula Town (Croatia)

Korcula, population 3000. The marble streets are dotted with Renaissance and Gothic architecture. Early documents indicate that a walled city existed on this spot in the 13th century; however Korcula did not exist until the 15th century. The Roman guards fit in with the Renaissance and gothic architecture. One guard must be quite tired from his exhausting duties.
