I'm a tourist now in Dubrovnik. I think the number of tourists here is bigger than the population of local here. Those tourist look very rich. They might be on a cruise ship.
久々にド観光客してます。ドゥブロブニク、多分この町の人口より観光客の人口の方が多いはずです。皆さん金の匂いがプンプンしますな。多分豪華客船の乗船客でしょう。



The old town is pretty. Now I understood that they were called the pearl of Adria sea.
街並みはやはり素晴らしい物があります。侮るなかれアドリア海の真珠といった感じです。






ジジか？


Many alleyways. Fun to walk.
路地が沢山。歩くのが楽しい街並みです。









Tourists keep coming in and out.
次から次へと観光客が入り出てゆく旧市街。


Buildings of baroque, Romanesque, and Renaissance.
街中にはバロックやらロマネスクやらルネサンス様式やらの建物の数々。










Many places I have been so far were influenced by ottoman empire, so this place looks fresh to me.
これまで来た道中はオスマン帝国の影響をかなり受けて来たエリアだったので、ここに来て西欧の影響濃い街並みは実に新鮮に見えました。

Kenan and I separated and went on our own way after sharing experiences for 4 days. He is going to Montenegro, and I'm going to Croatia. I hope we get to meet again some time in the future.
4日も一緒に過ごしたケナンともお別れ。彼はクロアチアには行かず、ボスニアからモンテネグロに抜けるルートを取るらしい。自分はこのままアドリア海方向に進み、海岸線をドゥブロブニクに向かう。また何処かで再開できると良い。


In that day, I had border crossing for 3 times. It's because there were very small part of Bosnia left along the coast of Adria sea. Its stretch was only 10km long. Those crossing were very smooth. I didn't even need to get any stamps.
この日は国境越えが3回もあった。ボスニアが10キロちょいだけアドリア海にはみ出している部分があって、その度にパスポートチェックがある。スタンプはどの国境でも押されずチェックのみ。




Since I left Bulgaria, I reached to the ocean again, Adria sea.
ブルガリアで黒海を見ていらい1ヶ月半ぶりの海、アドリア海。


Adria sea was blue and very clear.
青くてとても綺麗。天気も良いし泳ぎたい。




In this day, I found a really nice camp spot where I could pitch my tent in front of the sea and swim. For bad thing, I left my swimming pants here....What stupid I was...
そして夕方に見つけたアドリア海沿いのテン場。海が目の前で最高だった。もちろん泳ぎました。ただ、この場所に海パン忘れた。最低。。


Next day, I arrived to Dubrovnik after cycling 50km from my nice camp spot. Dubrovnik is one of the most famous resort in Adria sea, so a lot of tourist buses run and passed by me. Also there were huge cruise boats docked. How big they are.
翌日野宿地から50km程走ってドゥブロブニク到着です。アドリア海きってのリゾートだけあって観光バスがバシバシ通ります。そして、でたこの超大型客船。


There were so many tourists as i expected. However, Dubrovnik was still beautiful. I remembered Moyazaki movie, Witch's mail delivery service; sorry I don't know how it's titled in English. This place was the image of where Kiki lived.
観光客がすごいのは知っていたけど、やっぱり綺麗なのは確かだった。丘を登ってゆくと旧市街が眼下に見え、魔女の宅急便を思い出した。でもこんなだったっけ？


The price of accommodation in Dubrovnik was super expensive I've ever experienced. It seems I got to expensive part of Europe. Cheap Hostel cost at least €20, and normal room called Sobe was about €45. I don't like hostel and to stay at Sobe is expensive. Then I chose camping. There was a auto camp, Kpari, 8km south of Old town. It cost €8 and is connected the city buses running every 30min witch cost €2 for one way. I think this is the best option for budget travelers.
ドゥブロブニクの宿もこれまでのレベルをはるかに超える程高い。どうやら高いヨーロッパに突入したようです。Hostelで€20～。沢山ある民主的な宿Sobeは平均€45。ホステル嫌いだし、民宿高いしという理由で今回はドゥブロブニクから南に8km程にあるキャンプ場Kupari Auto camp、€8に泊まった。バスも30分ごとくらいにあって片道約€2。多分この辺りでは最安でしょう。



I will spend couple of days here and leave to Italy by a ferry.
ここで2日程観光してから南イタリアにフェリーで渡ります。
