Croatia - Dubrovnik and around

Hamish and I met up with Mum and Dad in Dubrovnik after their week in Italy.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dubrovnik - what a beautiful city! We had a great time wandering around the cobbled streets for a couple of days, however we'd timed our trip a little late and realised that the ferry service to the outer islands had ended on the 30th of September which ended up changing our plans a little. Nonetheless, we managed to amuse ourselves with a walk around the city walls and up to one of the forts, a day trip around some of the local islands and a drive to Ston and Oberic.

Walking around the Dubrovnik city walls and forts:
Oberic: A drive through the wine region of Peljesac led us to Oberic, which is a tiny little port town across the water from the island of Korcula.
The towns of Ston and Mali Ston: A massive fort - it's outer walls are around 5km in length (and up the side of cliff). It's also known for its saltworks.
