by Dubrovnik!
George Bernard Shaw called the city “paradise on earth,”
and it is easy to see why.
Dubrovnik is a 12th Century masterpiece sitting on the jewel like Adriatic Sea.
The old city is surrounded by towering medieval walls, looming up to 80 feet over the city.
The walls can be walked in entirety,
offerring incredible views over the old city and the sea.
Game of Thrones was filmed here,
because the city retains a magical sense of unique ancientness.
Cheers to you from magical old Dubrovnik~
(Excuse my absence, but I should be returning to available wifi in a few days!)

Beautiful contrast of the vermilion roofs with that deep (Prussian?) blue : )
Yes, I agree and love your Prussian blue!
Your photos are so clear and colorful. Dubrovnik reminds me of photos of certain Italian villas. Ah… one day.
It is economical in Croatia and Slovenia, so your tourist dollars take you further. Hope you do visit some day!
One of those places I really want to see. My daughters went years ago and I still haven’t got there.
Hope you get there soon Hilary & cheers to you my friend~
Omg GORGEOUS! I don’t mind telling you how envious I am. So glad you’re enjoying this beautiful city, my friend 💜
I wish I could beam you over! <3
Me too! Where’s the transporter room?! 🙂 💜
It is pretty isn’t it? If you’re heading up the coast, there’s a little town called Rovinj, which is the only place my wife and I ever went back to for a holiday.
We are now in Slovenia and missed Rovinj, but did see many other enchanting little towns in a country with serious charm overload. I am googling Rovinj now……..
🙂
Just unbelievably good. Your still on form I see Cindy x
Ahhh, soo appreciated my friend & cheers to you~
Truly beautiful, ” paradise on earth”, and who knew that of thrones was filmed there….
And this city is in wich country? I can obviously look it up in google but you know I’m to lazy
(wink wink I winking here)
Thanks much Charly. This is Dubrovnik in Croatia. Hope all is well with you my friend~
All is well thank you for asking.
Hopefully one day I will be able to travel.

Well that is understandable, I have 2000 plus people following me and I stll didn[t figure how can I read all those people, and trust me that I love to read you guys,that is why I got into wordpress, blogs about writing, pictures, e.t.c , I try to read them all, but I can’t no time in the day, but I do remember out of my head at least 20 including you that have been there from some time ago, and that, is nice.
love ya
Cheers to you Charly~ 💖
Cheers what? I can’t keep up with so many poeple, and believe me I try my best, but the day has so many hours in it.
<3
So full of character. I can see why GoT was filmed there. Beautiful.
Very happy you see it’s charm and cheers to you
The photos transport us to a dream paradise. You have taken wonderful views so that we can enjoy them.
Awww, what a lovely comment that makes me very happy I posted! Thank you~
Cindy your photos are absolutely unparalleled! It’s as if I am there with you!
Stand still! I’ll beam you over! <3
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Enjoy! ❤
💖
Magical, indeed!
Grazie mille!
What a beautiful place, I love the buildings with their red roofs! The sea looks gorgeous too. Thanks so much for sharing these with us Cindy. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time 🙂
Europe is having an extended heat wave which is wholely enexpected but certainly enhances the experience. Thank you Judy and have a wonderful day!
It is wonderful here in the UK at the moment with blue skies and sunny days. I am making the most if it! Enjoy the rest of your time there 🙂
Isn’t it lovely! The only problem is I am running out of warm weather clothes. (This is a good problem!)
Ha! well, that could be a positive …an excuse for buying some new outfits? 🙂
<3
Wow! No wonder that quote describes it as paradise! Enjoy your time there 🙂
Cities like Dubrovnik make one feel a bit like humanity is regressing more than progressing. Very pleased you enjoyed Christy!
Beautiful!
Grazie mille!
Absolutely breathtaking! 🙂
Hugs to you Linda & hope all is well with you and your family (two & four legged of course!)
All are well, thanks! Especially now with spring in the air! LOL! 😀
💖💖
Oh wow Cindy. Thanks for this beautiful share. Enjoy! 🙂
Thank you more my friend for such a kind comment~ <3
<3
I’m wonder-struck too, my friend! ヾ(*Őฺ∀Őฺ*)ﾉ wow!
ヾ(*Őฺ∀Őฺ*)ﾉ wish I could beam you here! <3
Thank you for taking us to “paradise on earth” with your lovely photographs, Cindy! 🙂
Thank you so much more for coming along with me. I love your company~ <3
It’s always a pleasure, Cindy! ❤️
💖
Wow. How fascinating. Did you walk the walls? I watched Game of Thrones once. This city seems to be the perfect setting. The photos are stunning. I love old cities, the history, geographics, and the architecture.
I love old cities too, and their imposing walls, and can understand well, why they had them. I did walk them and wish I could have brought you along. Hugs to you dear friend, and thank you for traveling with me~ <3
You photo stories are absolutely amazing, Cindy! What a delight for sore eyes. <3 Now we feel awestruck! 🙂
You are so sweet! You just made my <3 smile. Thank you~
Happy travels with all your heart. <3 🙂
💖
What an amazing place. All that colour and sunshine. Have fun. 🙂
Thanks Graham. Croatia is definitely a wonderful place to visit. Cheers to you my friend~
Stunning architecture and that water!!!! ❤
So clean and unspoiled and everything tastes better too!
So beautiful! What amazes me about these cities is that there appears to be no space to even walk between buildings! But whereas in modern cities that looks cluttered, here it just adds to the charm!
Exactly! These corridors are built for a person to walk through single file. They fascinate me. In some cities they create mazes that are so fun to get lost in, and hopefully, eventually found!

I remember feeling much the same, more than 30 years ago, Cindy 🙂 🙂 So beautiful.
How wonderful! The city is the same I would imagine!
I think so, with those same glistening streets xx
What a gorgeous city, and photos, Cindy. I’m so glad that I “tagged” along on your trip. 🙂 Enjoy your stay there.
I love traveling with you Patti! You make the trip more fun~ <3
Well, I am awestruck, too! Dubrovnik looks cleaner than my apartment! Sheesh! Gorgeous, Cindy, TY for all your great photos!
Amazing places you get to see! The photos are brilliant too 🙂
It wouldn’t be the same without Wolfie and you! <3
Oh Cindy– always have wished to go to Dubrovnik!! thanks for taking us there!! That last photo of the intensely colored church altar– amazing!! Hope all’s going well as you travel along… hugs!
It is going wonderfully, and I know you have been to many of the places I have. Hugs to you dear friend from France~
France! Are you eating plenty of wonderful food?? Blessings as you travel on… xo
We were in France for 10 days and I can say, I am ready for some lean cuisine (well not the frozen kind, but the veggies and lo fat kind!(
I know what you mean– when I’m vacation I want to try everything– sometimes you just want a clean salad!! Happy travels Cindy!
<3
I’ve missed seeing the world through your eyes. A world of nonstop adventure and beauty.
I am so glad you travel virtually with me Brenda. You make the experience more fun! Hugs to you and your family~ <3
Likewise. 🙂
🌸🌸
We had a one day stop in Croatia in Split it wasn’t long enough so I’m glad to see more in your photography 😊
We wanted to go to Split, but didn’t make it. I wish we did. I hear it is beautiful. Hugs to you Charlotte~ <3
Thank you, Cindy. 🙂
Amazing photos you have in your blog posts. Awesome!
Very kind of you and most appreciated too!
Thank you Cindy. 🙂
The location is amazing and so many wonderful sights, Cindy! I liked the beauty and special faith displayed within the church in the mural on the ceiling! Wow!
I liked the bay and glistening blue water, as well as the charming village. Thanks, dear Cindy! xo
The church is wonderful isn’t it! The devotion it represents is lovely. Thanks for noticing Robin~
Devotion and people’s grace are wondrous, indeed. Bless you, Cindy. xo
Beautiful, Cindy!
Honored. Thank you!
The views over the old city are amazing! I feel like I just went on a trip 🙂
You did! A virtual one and that is a wonderful way to travel! <3
Looks like a beautiful place!
It is gorgeous! Glad you enjoyed & cheers to you~
