nice view over Dubrovnic old town from the balcony




even though it was very warm, 19c, there were few tourists in Dubrovnic at this time of year. The fewer the better imo




the city of dubrovnic and the islands beyond





from fire, to ice. It was below zero in the mountain passes in Croatia, just north of Zadar




the grand canal in Venice






triggering alert - A 'jazz hands' shop in Venice




The camponile , Venice

Very nice. How did you find out about it and organise it? Lots of research and self-booking, or through an operator/brochure?

just got a hire car from Avis, then zoomed down there.

the only booking was a night near Dover , to meet some family, and the ferry.
then we just rocked up to a hotel south of munich, then on to Dubrovnik, venice, Dijon then home.

just taking it easy

Much more fun to do a holiday that way, no company booked itinerary to slavishly follow.

Nice pictures, and Venice looks more civilised than in late May/June. I'll definitely have to take a look at Croatia myself.

Where are the titties from the Croatian coast?!

It's really stunning. If you get a chance, it's worth a road trip from north to south along the coastal road (it reminds me a bit of Route 1/101 in California). The Plitvice Lakes, inland, are also worth a stop outside of the main tourist season. Much of the Croatian coastline has a really strong Italian feel (for obvious reasons), but without the same level of tourism. It's changing though - there are many more tourists during peak season than there used to be.
