The pearl of the Adriatic - or at least it is again now after having being rebuilt from the disastrous bombing it suffered. Dubrovnik was everything it's meant to be - beautiful, unique, tragic and crowded. Spending time in the city was fantastic - until about 9 am when it was made entirely unpleasant by the tourist hordes and cloying heat; luckily there's plenty of islands and interesting locations to escape to nearby. But if you are going to have a city as a base, what a city.
This fella was clearly the local pigeon-fancier (that's a real hobby - look it up). He was playing hard to get at this point, but the way they followed him around he was either loaded with bread crumbs or a very talented coo-er.
A couple more shots around the town - from the incredible walls surrounding the old town.
