Singapore to Dubrovnik

Well we've arrived! 11 and a half hours from Christchurch to Singapore, overnight in Changi Village, then 12 hours to Munich, 5 hours in Munich airport, then another 2 hours to Dubrovnik. Don't get us wrong, we love travelling, but sometimes we wonder why we live in such an out of the way country! We were very glad of the stopover in Singapore - a great place to stretch the legs, cool off in the swimming pool and enjoy the food stalls in the local market.

Walking along the northern coast of Singapore along the Changi Point Walkway.


Our first view of Dubrovnik from the main road.

We had an amazing view of the Croatian coast flying into Dubrovnik. Such blue sea, crystal clear water, so many beautiful islands and incredible limestone cliffs and mountains. All topped off with these impossibly gorgeous little red tiled roofs. We picked up our little Fiat at the airport and drove north into Dubrovnik. All relatively stright forward but will take us a couple of days I think to get properly used to driving a manual on the other side of the road! We have pitched camp in this lovely shaded campground just north of the old town and have settled in nicely. Our plan for the next couple of days is a full day exploring the town tomorrow, then off to explore the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.
