I had wanted to go to Dubrovnik for so long and finally got there in June this year but I was so disappointed. It’s beautiful in many ways, but a bit over-rated really and too geared for tourists, of which there are millions. The locals can be somewhat rude and the prices are sky high.
If planning to go, steer clear of the summer months and go off season (before the end of May and after the end of Sept). It will still be warm but at least you won’t have to battle the crowds, and the wallet!

Im here now – stay tuned

Porto is a great short break away from the madding crowds and to date, it doesnt appear to have been spoilt or overrun by tourists – even at Easter time.
What does it have to offer? great port, a great waterfront hub of activity abuzz with busy restaurants serving traditional portugese dishes and the freshest of seafood. But be careful – everything is saturated in salt – to the point of destroying the true flavour of the food!
Long walks and picture postcard views surround you. The Douro beats every heart and it will capture yours like it did mine!
