Pearl of the Adriatic

My parents had been to Dubrovnik in the 70s and had loved it, so 30 years on, when we decided to go to Croatia on holidays, of course I wanted to see it for myself. The city has been so lovingly restored that you can see very little of the severe damage Dubrovnik has suffered during the war, but a few houses were left, presumable as a reminder. You can see where the city got the name 'Pearl of the Adriatic' from - it is very beautiful. However, it didn't feel quite real. A little clean for my liking, a little too polished and within the city walls there were no real, every-day shops at all. People do live here. There is a school, for example, but it felt more like an open air museum.
