Phase 4: Croatia

We arrived mid-morning in the Dubrovnik airport. Even from the sky looking down I was elated. The topography was unlike anything I had seen before. Tall, scraggly dirt/rock mountains itermediately covered by shrubs and trees. These were right next to a crystal aqualmarine sea. It was gorgeous.

We landed and headed off to town. Heading around the side of a mountain we caught the famous glimpse of the city--its high stone walls against the sea with a whole terra cotta city inside. We were awestruck by its beauty.

We finally alighted the bus and immediately told each other we'd have to change travel plans to be able to spend a whole day in the city.

But that day we were pushing on to Split--the first stop on our Croatian vacation.
