The Adriatic is so very blue. It is a lovely backdrop before stepping ashore and wandering the streets inside Dubrovnik’s ancient walls. This is one of Croatia’s most beautiful cities.

One of our excursions took us along the rocky Adriatic coast, where we had the chance to swim in the clear blue water and explore the colorful caves.

One amazing discovery was a spot where visitors try balancing on a tiny stone ledge built into the wall. It looked challenging.

Because this was during the World Cup, TVs were everywhere with tons of people watching and cheering.
