Dubrovnik

We are in Dubrovnik and it's very pretty. If you had a good imagination you could just see the characters out of Game of Thrones tearing around the old city up and down the beautiful tiny streets images of Cersei Lannister starting her walk of shame down the Jesuit steps... but you'd have to think hard because actually in reality - it's crazy busy, it's crowded, the town welcomes around about 5,000 people per day from cruise ships, which makes it incredibly touristy and does rather take the edge off the beautiful buildings and the stone walls surrounding the Old Town. Way of course a part of the problem as we are picking up a cruise ship that Dr Fred is working on from here on Friday.  I can't imagine how they manage to empty the town to film Game of Thrones but rumor has a lot of money exchanged hands paying off kayak hire people so they could use the kayak landing space for King's Landing. But the weather is amazing ...
