Dubrovnik

We arrived in Dubrovnik just after sunset, and the iconic
view of the harbour from the approach along the cliffs looked about as serene
and peaceful as any city could be.

We got a quite different impression in the following
days when we toured the fortifications and were reminded of the turbulent
history of this part of the world – especially some very recent history. Some of the now-restored buildings within the
walls feature pictures of the night of December 6, 1991 when Dubrovnik was attacked
and burned by the Serbian and Montenegrin Army.
