By the second last week of semester most of our classes had
finished and we just had to knuckle down and study for exams. Seeing as we had a
little spare time, we headed to Croatia.
Barney and I decided to be really smart and save money by
getting the bus instead of flying. The eight-hour overnight from Zagreb to
Dubrovnik was something I probably wouldn’t do again, featuring bright lights,
tiny chairs and house music played all night, and the drunk teenagers that got
on at about 3am. Arriving in Dubrovnik made it all worthwhile, it’s one of the
most beautiful cities I’ve seen.
We met up with the others and headed out to explore the Old
Town, where some of the scenes of Kings Landing were filmed for Game of
Thrones.
The next day we did some more exploring and visited the War
Photography museum. The museum documents the work of several war journalists in conflicts from the 1980s to the early 2000s and it is incredibly moving.
It’s also pretty intense so we went for gelato from Dolce
Vita after to lighten the mood.
