Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik was neat, but so hot and humid that we only spent about half the day in the city before heading back to the ship. It's an old midevil town that is completely surrounded buy the castle walls. No kidding... it has a draw bridge, canon turrets and everything, just like out of a movie or something except this is the real thing! The city is completely self contained with residential areas, market places, churches and so on. We walked around the top of the wall that completely surrounds the city which took us a couple hours but gave some great views of the city and surrounding areas. In the pictures you can see all the roofs are basically the same orange tile and there is very little vegitation inside the city walls. It's all stone and tile which made it even hotter than it already was. You can see that the city was built with defense in mind in case an enemy invaded from the water. Craziest part of the whole thing... People still live here, inside the city walls, in the same buildings that were here 600 years ago.
