In order to recover from our 6 weeks babysitting in the US we consulted our travel guide (my brother Chris) and he recommended Croatia, somewhere I would have never considered! We booked up and thankfully my mother's graduation from this life did not require us to change our plans. Chris kindly told us which travel agent to use, what hotel to stay at and what things to do and it was all absolutely brilliant. So to share this I am going to do a series of short posts covering booking and the hotel, what we did in Dubrovnik, trips and activities and our visit to Montenegro.
We booked with a company called Broadway Travel and a helpful adviser called Grant Lawson. We flew Easyjet from Gatwick (around 2.5 hours) and stayed at a 5 star boutique hotel called Hotel More (pronounced Morey in Croatian). We went half board but could have gone B & B as there were lots of cheap places to eat at locally. We took Rosalind's brother John with us.

The sea views from the hotel were wonderful.
The hotel was excellent, the food good and the staff friendly and helpful. The quality of workmanship in the building was first class. The layout was slightly complicated due to it being built down the face of cliff but that made it interesting.
The dinning room was lovely but much of the time we were alfresco.
The kitchen had a large window enabling you to see the wonderful food being prepared.
During the construction of the hotel a cave was discovered and this has been developed into a wonderful bar.
The cave bar has a clever viewing platform that allows examination of the stalactites and stalagmites closely. It is all beautifully executed.
