A Suitcase Full of Pink Pearls - Paperback

by Fil Bufalo (Author)

Of course, I'd shied away from traveling to Croatia! Why embrace the unknown with Venice, Nice, Rome, and Constantinople calling? I'd heard whisperings of a city dubbed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' but had little idea where that soul-stirring nirvana might have been located. You can imagine my surprise and delight, when I was invited to accompany five friends and their two young sons to Dubrovnik, Croatia, for a five-day stint in the scorching Balkan sun.
Words cannot express that first glimpsing of the red-roofed, white-walled, brilliant-blue -sea-skirted city when our sleek, silver, chauffeur-driven van tumbled into town from the brooding, cobalt-crusted Dubrovnik mountains.
Lord Byron had it right: Heaven on Earth!
The following five days for our 'party of eight' included beaches, swimming pools, 'Old Town' treasures, Wall-walks, Croatian food to die for, and best of all - a delightful 'Game of Thrones' tour, which had two little boys searching every nook and cranny on the 'Kings landing' for that elusive Iron Throne. Who's never wanted to play kings or queens?
So you'll be joining us on this pink-pearler tour in one of the world's most Instagram-able spots? Thought so!
