The Beauty of Dubrovnik

My sister & I have been in Croatia for 24 hours and I think I am already in love. This is truly one of the cutest cities I have visited. The Old Town, protected by a 2 km wall on all sides, is situated on a cliff right on the Adriatic Sea, with green hills serving as a backdrop. The town is spotless and full of white cobblestones and orange roofs. We spent the morning walking the walls and then took a cable car to Srd Hill for panoramic views of the entire city. Not a single picture I have seen or taken does this place justice. Later, we went to Cafe Buza, which can be found through an opening in the city walls, situated right on the cliff for drinks with an amazing view. Though this is a popular spot for cliff jumping, which we were hoping to partake in, the weather today didn't allow for it. We will leave that for next time!
