So yeah continuing on from my other post about my holidays after we left the island called Korcula we then took a 1 hour ferry and 3 hour bus to get to Dubrovnik .... holy shitballs what a place !! Dubrovnik is quite a big city compared to other places in Croatia , it has a freaken AWESOME old town which is surrounded by HUGE ancient walls to protect it from invasion and damn it worked well ... even in the Yugoslav war which only ended in 1995 the invading army ( Serbs/Montenegrans ) werent able to breach the city ... although unfortunately they decided to bombard the city with artillery in the hope the people would surrender but they held strong and eventually repelled all attacks and despite huge damage to the city at the time it is almost unoticeable these days . The best way to see how much damage was done is to look at all the roofs of the buildings and you will notice that about half have resonably new roofs as they all sustained a lot of damage from the indiscriminate bombing. In turn it has made the Croatian People very proud of their Heritage and culture even if the country is only very young on the world scale. This first pic I will put up is one I took from the city walls and it shows the beauty of the nature here and also the beauty of its influence from man in the awesome defenses that were built here ;)
This next picture is of me and Rob playing on a childrens playground in the old city of Dubrovnik hahaha :P
This is the last picture of Dubrovnik I will put up and its taken from up the top of the hill/mountain which overlooks Dubrovnik and you can get a cable car up to the top and check out the views ... definitely worth it ! ;)
So after Dubrovnik we headed to Montenegro and first went to Herceg Novi which was not the best place I must say haha. The beaches were shitty and it was overrun with Russians but it was still cool to check the place out :) This picture is of a traditional Serbian dish which at 12 Euros was the most expensive meal I bought on the trip by far .... but it was the best meal I had on the trip ... it was like a sausage but with chicken and garlic and bacon on the inside ... fucking so damn good ! ;)
Ok so after we were in Herceg Novi we got a bus to a placed called Budva and this place was SO much better than Herceg Novi ... it had a sweet as old town and a lot more things going on in and around the place :) You should have seen the bus we had to get there haha , here is a few pics of the bus ... it had bald tyres it smelt like shit and didnt have ANY air conditioning or open windows and it was fucken hot!! You couldnt even see out the windows because they had so much shit on them haha ...I have been on many shit buses in my time but this one was the worst haha ....3 hours of pure hell ....hungover as all hell also ... not a good combination haha . Here is the "chariot" ;)
Awesome views from inside the bus !!! ;)
So Budva was the last place on our mega trip and it was pretty damn cool. Had an awesome old town which had a lot of cool stuff in it , also had great beaches in and around the town. Rob and I took a boat cruise one day to a small island right near the town and it was pretty cool ... ended up climbing up some island hill thing which was cool :) Here is a picture of the hill island thing we climbed up ... with no shoes mind you haha ... my feet hurt thinking about it haha :P was awesome though :)
Ok so the last pic is of Rob going down a slide in a childrens playground haha just thought it was funny and a good way to end my posts about holidays because its all about having fun and doin stupid shit really ... and we did plenty of both ! I still love Croatia and I think I always will ... the people are super friendly and helpful and interesting and the landscape is just awe inspiring ! GO THERE !!! ;)
That is all , Peace out , Catch ;)
