AceOnRoam
Game of Thrones | George R R Martin
post image

Cersei's walk of shame! Yesterday I experienced this beautiful old city in Dubrovnik, Croatia, it is truely stunning and PEOPLE STILL LIVE THERE, talk about Location, Location, Location!

I'm not sure if George Martin actually wrote this sequence or which book it appears in, but there was a big queue of people waiting to go into the game of thrones museum!

AceOnRoam @Cinfhen yes! I *almost* felt sorry for her. Almost. 6y

AceOnRoam It's very small @Cinfhen you could do a long weekend here, but you could spend longer if you charter or join a boat tour, the waters are crystal clear and some of the best in the Med. 6y
Cinfhen Thanks! A long weekend might be perfect ❤️ 6y
AceOnRoam @Cinfhen have a lovely trip. Perhaps try the hop-on-hop-off bus to get a feel for it, then spend some time in the old city. Many restaurants for snacking and "rehydration" ??? 6y
Cinfhen We‘re trying to plan a quick trip for mid August but we can‘t settle on a location ..I think because it‘s summer and everything seems to be high season we keep hesitating ~ on our short long list Greece, Amsterdam, Spain, Croatia, Budapest 6y
Cinfhen We finally ruled out Slovenia, Iceland & Copenhagen 6y
AceOnRoam Well that's progress 🤣 6y
AceOnRoam Barcelona is a great place for walking around. It was very crowded but so much to see, it's much much bigger but cheaper than Croatia. 6y
GatheringBooks oh wow! looks great! 6y
GatheringBooks @Cinfhen i love budapest, bratislava, and madrid! have fun on your vacation. i clearly need one. four more boxes of books to unpack!! 6y
AceOnRoam In the old city yesterday, the tower walk was 150Kuna, Hamburgers 85Kuna, Bus tickets 15Kuna for one hour, can of coke 7Kuna, litre of water 10Kuna I don't know what the hotels were charging but our marina was more expensive than Barcelona. 6y
AceOnRoam @GatheringBooks it's a wonderful place, magical and unbelievable that it's still standing strong. 6y
Cinfhen What‘s the Kuna to dollar rate?? LOVE Barcelona we were thinking Marbella, Spain 6y
Cinfhen Budapest is still a strong contender @GatheringBooks @AceOnRoam 6y
Cinfhen Knowing my indecisive hubby we‘ll end up staying home 🙄 6y
AceOnRoam @Cinfhen 1USD is 6.32HRK on my app XE Currency which has been very accurate in my travels, make sure you download it for future! 6y
AceOnRoam @Cinfhen haha, that's ok, you can read more 📚 6y
Simona I‘m wondering what they are showing in museum 🤔 6y
Simona @Cinfhen Ruling out Slovenija??? 😥😥😥 6y
AceOnRoam @Simona I thought it would be lots of costumes and Daenerys wigs. Some weapons, a variety of poisons and which tomato juice they use for the blood scenes. Of course a few dragons... 6y
Simona .... tomato juice is a obligatory for museum like this 😂 6y
saresmoore How cool! I love getting glimpses of your travels. 6y
AceOnRoam @saresmoore glad you are enjoying them, I try to limit them so that they are at least a little bit relevant to actual books and reading 😁 6y
saresmoore Meh. Real-life places and cultures always seem relevant to books, to me! 6y
AceOnRoam @saresmoore Ok. Next stop Venice. Be prepared to be wow'ed 6y
saresmoore 😁 6y
Cinfhen Only because my kids want to go to Slovenia and this isn‘t a family trip @Simona 6y
Cinfhen Love ❤️Venice @AceOnRoam !!! You take the best trips 6y
AceOnRoam @Cinfhen Thank you 😘 6y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Let me be the critical one: Croatia (Dubrovnic and Split) are sooo turistic, you can‘t hardly walk there. They are beautiful but I was really disappointed as it seems to get busier every year. I would vote for Kotor in Montenegro, it‘s close to Dubrovnic. Or Budapest or Amsterdam of course 😉 6y
AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB we just came from Kotor, so beautiful. We climbed up to the fortress. I couldn't walk the next day, but I got some great photos from the top 😃 6y
Redwritinghood This looks like a great trip. Glad you‘re enjoying it. 6y
AceOnRoam @Redwritinghood Thanks, yes it was good to walk on solid ground for a few hours too! 6y
BarbaraBB I was very much impressed by Kotor! I loved Dubrovnic too but as I said, sooooo many people. Too many. Kotor is a bit more real - for now! I think... 6y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled So cool!! Literary tourism ❤️ 6y
Cinfhen I‘m still working on Amsterdam @barbarabb 6y
AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB Agreed, in terms of unspoiled by tourism, Kotor is better, but huge cruise ships come every day, hundreds of people, in and out so it's only a matter of time before it will be the same as everywhere else. 6y
AceOnRoam @Cinfhen loooove Amsterdam so much 😍❤ 6y
LeahBergen How cool is this? And I can‘t wait to see your Venice photos. We were there for our honeymoon and it‘s one of our favourite places. 😍 6y
BarbaraBB @LeahBergen I love Venice too! Are you going there now, @AceOnRoam ? 6y
AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB we have 12 more days left on our Croatia tourist visa, probably will go to Venice after that runs out. 6y
BarbaraBB @AceOnRoam you‘re so lucky! 6y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Good! 👍 6y
AceOnRoam @LeahBergen I can't wait to see Venice, what a wonderful honeymoon location 💘😍💖 6y
AceOnRoam @LeahBergen we went to Paris but I had to wait 3 years for my honeymoon. #notaveryromanticcouple 6y
LeahBergen @AceOnRoam 😂 I love the hashtag! I had to wait for our 10th anniversary for Paris. 6y
AceOnRoam @LeahBergen it was worth the wait 🗼🗼🗼 6y
