THE PEARL OF THE ADRIATIC



According to the opinion of some people, in Zadar you can enjoy the most beautiful sunsets in the world, even the famous Alfred Hitchcock fell under the spell of one of them.
The expectations created by the popular thought led us to the city piers...
We waited, we watched, and finally felt the disappointment crawling up to our fingers ready on the shutter of our cameras.
The show was alright, but even giving an extra chance the next day we couldn't stop thinking of the one in Angkor Wat, Campeche, Sydney, Antarctica or even our home town!
Dubrovnik was our next stop and we were not willing to wait forever until the said became true.

It was a long ride following the gorgeous coastline that even on a rainy day can make you forget the amount flags along the coast to identify what's yours and what's mine between Bosnian and Croats.
The Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik, heals slowly its wounds with tourists that every day arrive from cruises and buses to conquer with their cameras every single withe stone that form this city.
It is certainty a magic place, quite impressive specially at night, where the artificial light of its street lamps can take you to times when Venetians ruled this part of the world.
