Dubrovnik, Croatia [April 2017]

I booked a holiday back in April for my 22nd birthday. We don't like to do generic holidays where you just sit around a pool all day. We love an adventure and we have to explore. What is the point of going to another country if your not going to look around? Choosing holiday's shouldn't just be for the weather or for the cheapest find, it should be where you haven't been, what there is to see and what you can do.
We decided on Dubrovnik in Croatia where GAME OF THRONES was filmed, a place we would both enjoy and get excited about. Dubrovnik was where most scenes of King's Landing were set, a perfect choice. Dubrovnik is visually beautiful. The old town with the wall that surrounds it, the long steep stairs and the old castle on the hill are all big factors in making Dubrovnik the ideal scenic holiday especially if you love photography.
Ollie was in photography heaven the whole time, he even made a taxi man stop so he could take an amazing long distance shot from the side of a busy road!
Walking through the old town you can really feel the history there and you start to imagine what it was like, but then you realise you are imagining GOT episodes!
If you're a massive nerd like me then you most definitley have to go! You can get taken on a GOT tour but you won't need it if you have binged watched it over and over. You will just know where to go and you will know if you have missed anything.
Despite Dubrovnik being famous for GOT it is largely famous for its olive oil, a boat will take you to all the islands off the coast with one where it is made. Make sure you pick a really nice day for it, we unfortunatley couldn't go as the wind was bad and boats were unable to moor on the islands. A shame but apart from that we enjoyed our trip, took some amazing shots and we would definitley go again.

More pictures and stories to come!
