Croatia was unfortunately a short trip for us, arriving at the shoulder season things were closing up and the weather was turning. We flew from Rome to Split where we spent a few days in the city just wondering the streets and soaking up the last few summer rays before making our way to Dubrovnik. Here we pulled up for three days in a really nice guest house, caught up on sleep and relaxed a little. Dubrovnik itself is super touristy and swarming with the cruise-ship crowd but we managed to find a few great little bars and eats when out and about. We walked the city walls which were definitely worth the money - the views are great. We spent evenings sitting on the rocks and watching the sunset and our last day we thought we would be adventurous and hike the hill behind the old town, a few minutes in and the rain started, although we did have the hill to ourselves.

Croatia was a great place that is on the radar for a return trip in the summer where we can fully explore the islands and soak up the Croatian sun.
