Dubrovnik Special - Day 4

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Dubrovnik - from the city walls, south to north...







I've had my picture taken so often I have an agent. You've got to pay royalties for my image, y'know.


Rooftop terrace: nice place for lunch.


Walking the wall.


Oooh, look at that lovely bay.


I need a bathroom.

Dubrovnik Special - Day 2

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---



Keeping a beer company on the "hole in the wall" bar overlooking the Adriatic. When it rained, the owner gave drinks on the house.


Navy Seals (?) protecting fat boy Cheney.


The main drag heaving with cruise ship day trippers.


Every bloody city in the world has a bloody Irish bar. Dubrovnik has two (that we counted).

We arrived by plane rather than this vessel.


Watching out for the local police, sweeping the area in preparation for Dick "Shoot First, Ask Questions Later" Cheney. Cost of Cheney's trip to Croatian taxpayers: £400,000.
