We are also leaving Dubrovnik and points south for another trip (sadly...but time is limited). Our trip will include Ljubljana, Istria (Rovinj), Plitvice and Zagreb.

Thanks for the recent comments. They have made me rework my website a little bit. I have now put this trip into a better format on my website, with more (and in some cases) larger photos. You can ask questions or leave comments on the website or here if you are going to any of these places. I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them.

What I realized when I reformatted this report is that our trip (even though it was almost four years ago) has remained so vivid in my mind (I can even still taste that damned slivovitz). If any of you get the chance to travel to any of the wonderful spots we were so fortunate to be able to visit, I bet you have an incredible travel experience. Hope you enjoy the photos. I had a great time the last few days reliving this trip.

Well Tom, I can tell you I am definitely going to be checking out the wine bar/shop Piassa Granda in Rovinj because of your report - not to mention the Buza Bar (which I misspelled above - oops.)

I am still working on my plan but will be seeing many of the places in your report. I am a wino so your recommendations are very valuable to me. :)

Thanks Tom for such a delightful report of your trip. My husband and I are heading off in September and based on your recommendations have already booked our room with Jadranka Benussi in Dubrovnik and at the Slamic B&B in Ljubljana. Am counting the days!

Your advice has been invaluable - thanks for sharing.
