Sightseeing & Icecream in Dubrovnik, Croatia

We decided to be quite snap happy once again in Dubrovnik, this beautiful city just lends itself to taking a multitude of touristy photos.  So we walked along the walls, had some a lot of icecream, watched people cliff jumping and then strolled back to our accommodation via some of the most beautiful views I've ever seen.  We were only there for one night as Dubrovnik is pretty expensive, so we just made the most of it that day.  If you want to see what else we got up to that day, have a look at the previous Nishta post!

Cider & Stunning Views in Budva, Montenegro

Montenegro, or Crna Gora, is an amazing, albeit fairly small, country.  Our already short stay there was cut short by one day due to airline problems, which saw us spending the night in Belgrade, Serbia.  But nonetheless, we made it to Podgorica by the next morning and then caught a bus to the coastal city of Budva.  

Budva is beautiful, vibrant and sun-drenched.  And there are a lot of Russian tourists there.  A lot. I don't think my Cyrillic has ever been this good!  We had a pretty chilled out time in Budva on the first day and just explored the Old Town, went to the beach, and had the biggest slice of burek I've ever had and ever will have in my life.  It was a monster.  Unfortunately we didn't get a picture, but I kid you not it was enormous and I didn't eat for a day afterwards because it filled me up so much.  Oh and it was tasty as anything.  

I also need to mention our amazing accommodation, it was one of my favourite hostels ever!  We stayed at Saki Hostel, and Saki himself i what can only be described as a total lad.  On arrival you are treated to a shot of homemade rakija and a slice of cake.  What better way to arrive?

Flintstone Living in Cappadocia, Turkey

If you've ever wondered what it must be like to live on the moon or in an alternate universe, then Cappadocia is the place to be.  It's simply surreal.  The landscapes are beautiful and weird, and both of us were pretty much speechless.  After the awful overnight bus ride to Cappadocia from Antalya, we both passed out in our dorm for most of the day a few hours, and got up in the late afternoon to go and explore the town of Goreme.  So here are some photos from our wanderings.













After spending the whole afternoon and evening pretending to be the Flintstones, we ended the day with a delicious feed and of course some apple tea.

 
Oh and incase you were wondering, my shorts are from H&M, crop t-shirt is from a random, little shop in Langkawi (sorry) and the shirt and my bag are both from Urban Outfitters.
