Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well and having a bit of Indian summer.
Well here we are outside Dubrovnik. We woke to another fabulous mornings and after a quick breakfast of French toast and a goodbye to our hosts we got on the road about 10:00. The family that has the campground we stayed at was very pleasant and helpful. The trip down the coast was uneventful. There was a lot of road construction and that held us up some. Also we had to cross the border into Bosnia Herzagovenia for about 12km. We had mountains all the way down the coast. Reminded us of the Baja only lots of pine and cedar. We have only had a brief look at Dubrovnik and wow it blows us away.
We both are getting our tans back and the sun sure feels good.
The area where we are camped shows a lot of evidence of the war. Abandoned homes and hotels riddled with bullet holes and signs of mortar shelling. They have totally rebuilt Dubrovnik and there is a lot of building going on here too. The people are friendly and most speak some English. There are a lot of tourist in the area. In fact we saw a car with California license plates. It belonged to a couple from Carmel who are touring Europe for six months. He shipped his car over. They were having a great time.
After we were set up we walked to the beach and had a beer and people watched. Then back to camp for some bbq pork chops. We were hungry, we forgot lunch!! Who us?? So to make up for it we walked back to the beach, after dinner, for some ice cream.
