Hanging in the Hood(s)

I've gotten to know the neighborhoods in Dubrovnik: Lapad, Grad, Gruz, Babin Kuk, etc. I live in Lapad above a main street with cafes, restaurants, and bars. Pretty good location if you ask me... Everything is within walking distance, even Old City is only a 20 minute walk.

These are taken from my street:

The houses across the street:

(I think they are so cute)

This is the view from my apartment at night:

We walked up a different mountain behind our house on Tuesday with the best view in the city. You could see so many islands down the coast and every part of the city. This mountain looked out over Lapad, Lapad Beach, Old City and Babin Kuk.

 

 

Really, we've been doing a lot of walking. This way (and driving), I pretty much have figured out my way around the city. Ana has been showing me a lot of shortcuts and a lot of them involve massive amounts of stairs. We walked 10km around Babin Kuk on Wednesday. Of course, I took plenty of pictures. The weather was cold, but super clear and sunny. Babin Kuk is a main tourist part, besides Old City, of Dubrovnik with lots of hotels and swimming areas. It still amazes me how the water is so clear and pristine.
