Finally the blog you have all been waiting for, since we last checked in with the rampant blog checkers out there we have travelled further down the trail and made it to Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. By all means possible this place has lived up to the hype given to it.
Here are some of the highlights of our visit to Dubrovnik:
Day One:
We arrived in Dubrovnik from Split after a scenic drive down the delightful Adriatic coastline. It took us bloody ages to find the place we were staying due to one way roads and poor signage.
We called the bloke from the Dubrovnik youth service and followed his scooter to our new home. Our hosts we very welcoming and spoke little English, but managed to say "No Problem" at least once per sentence.
Went walking throught the old town that night, top quality as old towns go and quality fortifications.
Day Two:
Went for a walk around the peninsula looking for quality beaches and nudist beaches (only for the culture points though... serious you see enough nudity at the beach as it is)
Went to the dodgy sounding and dodgy looking night club "Latino Club Fuego"
We had an awesome time with Dangerous Dave and Jono
Melon and Jono, got on like a house on fire when they realised that Jono knew Ed (Callaghan) and went out with a chick that used to live with Ed.
Dave and Irish friends
Day Three:
Went to the dodgy sounding and dodgy looking night club "Latino Club Fuego"
We had an awesome time with Dangerous Dave and Jono
We met plenty of people here the second night. Melon, Jono and a new Swedish friend.
Morto and Melon made a new Norwegian friend, Anna
Kerr and Hengel with Russian friends
Hengel with one of Dave's new Irish friends
Drunken debauchery
Later that night Kerr (and the rest of us) felt that some swimming to cool down was in order
Day Four:
Went to the dodgy sounding and dodgy looking night club "Latino Club Fuego"
We had an awesome time with Dangerous Dave and Jono
We met more friends tonight. Melon with Norwegian friend
By the end of the night Dangerous Dave couldn't take very good pictures anymore
Day Five:
Final day in Dubrovnik, we hit the beach again and waited until 11pm for our ferry to Italy. Our sleeping patches on the deck were awaiting us. After 8 hours on the boat with little sleep we arrived in Italy
For those of you out there who require more debaucherous information regarding our exploits during this period of time please feel free to email anyone (except morto, cos he is the biggest dog of the lot)
OK so it sounds like we didn't do much else than go to the dodgy sounding and dodgy looking night club "Latino Club Fuego" and go swimming, which is true. But we have plenty of nice photos of that sort of stuff for those interested, but that is boring...
...and back by popular demand... man in chair

Gents I must say that you have made a few friends on your travels, but what you didn't make friends with any Croatian Girls while in Croatia? For shame!
That said I am going to need the address of the that Latino Club in Dubrovnik if for not other reason than to meet all of your new friends!
So glad to see that man in chair has travelled all the way to Croatia with you...
