Travel diaries - Dubrovnik, part 1
by Unknown
Our first day was spent everywhere but Dubrovnik. The car trip took a while, we went to a few villages that were along the highway.
Near the border with BiH, actually within BiH, is a small place called Neum. It's on the coast and on an estuary. It's famous for its citrus plantations, especially oranges and tangerine, and also other fruits like strawberrys etc. We stopped near a small shop, or something like it, and found some really cute homemade sweets made from nuts and fruits- like almond coated in sugar and strawberry syrup or slices of orange friend in lavender petals. The shop is located on top of a fill and gives an exquisit look over the hill and coast.
Our next stop was Ston and its famous oysters. The place is famous for its fresh seashells, but mostly oysters. I'm not that big of a fan, but they go oh so well with white wine.
Another thing about Ston- it has one of the oldest sea salt breweries. It's still working, even after 600 years of diverse history. Cause of the many attacks from the Turkish army, people of Ston and Dubrovnik built a wall in the 14th centuary. It's the second longest wall in the world, after the Great Wall of China, and it's visible from the moon also.
Ather the oysters and some risotto we had a long (hard) walk up the walls.
The view from the highest point is magical- it doesn't seem so but it's very very high. Those 'ponds' are a part of the seasalt brewery. I didn't looked that good after hours and hours of driving - notice the messy hair haha I'm wearing everything Mango- denim, suede jacket, Dior sunglasses and Nike AirMax Lunar.
Tired and exhausted we finally arived in the hotel. The pool is awesome and I spent hours in the wellness area. A perfect ending of the day and can't wait for tomorrow! :)
