Devbrotnic



Ok... I have no idea if I spelled the name right... but we had traveled all day to another city. Debrontnic... or something. We were going to take a ferry from here to Italy in a few days. We arrived around lunch time and ate lunch at a small pizzaria that was ok, but not great by any means. After lunch we walked up the street to a scetchy little outdoor bar and used the internet and played cards. There was a cool looking 'old town' surrounded by walls in this city and I was excited to go see them, but since we were staying for several days we decided to go tour them the next day. For now we would go down to the docks and decide when we would leave Croatia.

After several visiting several ferry companies we descovered that our only ferry option was one that left the next day at eight in the morning. The next departure was the day I had to be in Viterbo and that wasn't going to work. After a trying ordeal with international law officials involving van registration and the fact that we didn't have original copies of it we managed to get tickets for the ferry.

Since we only had one day in Dubrontic we decided to head back into town, tour around and get something for dinner. We didn't feel like paying to climb up on the walls of the old town so we just wandered up and down the streets, visiting churches and reading about wars and stuff like that. Apparently Duvbronic was bombed the year I was born... which was kinda cool I guess.

Another street in the old town.



Another street in the old town. By this point we are hungry and looking for a good restruant that is not too expensive of touristy. I think we got too picky because we searched for a long time.


A bridge from the old town overlooking the harbor. There was a group of Croatians having a barbique underneath us (just to the right of this picture... you can't see it).


CAT!

Another street in the old town.

This was just outside the walls. We walked from grey stone evening streets, through a tiny door in the wall and into this tropical paradise. It was really weird.

The old wall... and island... water...

Boats... (this is all in the same place... we just stood and took pictures for about fifteen minutes)


Cliffs and the old wall...



Like I said... paradise through a door. We wandered around the old streets until we had come full circle back to the entrance gates and then decided that anything to eat inside the old town would be too expensive and headed back into Debrontnic proper in seach of food. We searched a very long time...

  1. Sorry about this post... I took almost no regularly oriented photos, so your neck is probably going to be sore by the time you read this comment. I'll get back to the states and rotate them all for you...
