Croatia 3: Dubrovnik

Every year we find a gem; a spot that draws us in and that we find hard to leave. And so it is in Dubrovnik. We are still here! The weather is hot and sunny. The campsite facilities are very good, with free wi-fi. It's a 5 minute walk down to Copcabana, Dubrovnik's best beach, with great swimming and a beach cafe serving cold wine, 10 metres from the water. There's lots to watch, on the beach and out to sea. Every 10 minutes until 2.30am a bus runs to the old town. It's a beautiful, atmosperic walled city, fully pedestrianised with marble streets that  glisten at sunset. One of the most impressive touristy things we have done for a few years was to "walk the walls". There are good restaurants and wine bars, an outdoor live jazz bar and an Irish pub with sky sports channels for rugby and tennis. Sorted! We are just sorry we had to say good-bye to the Fouries!
We have scouted town, asked locals and read foodie blogs looking for non touristy places to eat.  Take our word for it, these are the best!
Taj Mahal -Bosnian Restaurant with best grilled meats and Borek. Book ahead or wait till after 10 to be seated.
