Getting a bed in Croatia turned out to be very difficulty. I knew that it would be a little more expensive here, but I didn't account for $60 a bed hostels and 8 dollar beers! We ended up lucking out and after a few days of searching finding sobe (kinda of like an apartment or guest house) out side of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik gets endless hype in travel guides for being fairytale beautiful. It is, it is also expensive and a little bland. Everything had been immaculately restored and filled with high end shopping and restaurants. The whole area felt like beverly hills inside a castle. I can see why the rich and famous vacation here. My favorite part of the city was a small tunnel in the wall that leads out to the sea. Swimming next to a giant white fortress is the best.
Our sobe had an outdoor kitchen on the terrace, so I cooked dinner for sunni (with fresh herbs from the owners garden) and we ate looking out over Adriatic. Just about as romantic as I can get.
Second day we took a ferry to a nearby island and swam in the sea all day. The island had giant cactus fields and an incredible contemporary light installation in the middle of nowhere.
