DubrovnikTheJewelOfCroatia


If there is one city in Croatia that everyone knows about - it is Dubrovnik. I have wanted to visit here since I first saw a photo several decades ago. My heart broke when I heard that wars were ravaging the city. The General shelling the city at the time was asked if he felt bad that we was destroying one of the world's most beautiful historical sites and he replied that he would just build it back even better. As part of the tour you can see a map dotted with Xs that show the hundreds of bombs that fell on the city. Today, other than some walls that have bullet holes. most of the city has come back. It is breathtaking.
