It is no wonder that one reads articles that the wealthy are seeking out the Dalmation Coast in Croatia. It is very much similar to Cape Town, in terms of its beauty, only prettier and with the warm Adriatic sea in which you can actually swim!

The water is a beautiful temperature and the town of Dubrovnik is bustling in summer, filled with energy, young confident people and overall it has a sexy vibe of summer. Whether or not there is plenty to do over 3 or 4 weeks, is another story, but my one day there certainly left me wanting to go back.

If you walk along the wall of the old town it gives dramatic views and also leaves one thinking about how so many societies undergo dramatic changes and indeed wars.
