Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is another of my favorite places on the planet!
Walking the streets of the walled oldtown is like stepping
back into time. This city nestled on the Adriatic coast
is only a six hours drive from Tirana, Albania where
we lived from May of 2003 - June of 2006. Join me
for some of the sites and you will understand why
we longed to stay just one day longer
when it was time to go home.

Is that the recreated Nina at dock in the photos? If so, we toured that with our daughters when it made a stop nearby in Florida on it's voyages to different parts of the world.
