E-grāmata: Suitcase Full of Pink Pearls

Of course, I'd shied away from traveling to Croatia! Why embrace the unknown with Venice, Nice, Rome, and Constantinople calling? I'd heard whisperings of a city dubbed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' but had little idea where that soul-stirring nirvana might have been located. You can imagine my surprise and delight, when I was invited to accompany five friends and their two young sons to Dubrovnik, Croatia, for a five-day stint in the scorching Balkan sun. Words cannot express that first glimpsing of the red-roofed, white-walled, brilliant-blue -sea-skirted city when our sleek, silver, chauffeur-driven van tumbled into town from the brooding, cobalt-crusted Dubrovnik mountains. Lord Byron had it right: Heaven on Earth!The following five days for our party of eight included beaches, swimming pools, Old Town treasures, Wall-walks, Croatian food to die for, and best of all a delightful Game of Thrones tour, which had two little boys searching every nook and cranny on the Kings landing for that elusive Iron Throne. Who s never wanted to play kings or queens So you ll be joining us on this pink-pearler tour in one of the world s most Instagram-able spots? Thought so!
