Overseastoon its amazing there went back in January! Get a Roma pass card when you do, saves you a bit on travel and sightseeing etc like Vatican, St Stephens Basilica (tough climb to top of tower is awful but worth it for the view), Coliseum etc.

I live in London so flights are cheap for me wherever normally, looking at maybe booking Dubrovnik soon. Anybody been?

Italy isn't the mother land. It's the grand mother.

Just back from France and had an amazing time.

No phone or internet connection for 90% of the time. Just lots of conversation over the kitchen table with wines and food, badminton and football in the garden, long country walks and chilling out in front of a log fire.

Perfect.

Substitute the wine for beer and sounds like a winner.

Substitute whiskey/bourbon/gin for wine and beer and sounds like a winner.

Stayed just outside Dubrovnik a couple of times most recently in June, lovely place!

Saw something in the news yesterday about local people in certain cities / areas protesting about tourism. It can bring a lot of money to areas but also pushes up prices for locals who can often no longer afford to live in the places they grew up so are coming into direct conflict with tourism. Dubrovnik was one of the places mentioned.

One of our Uber drivers in Dubrovnik said prices had skyrocketed with the influx of tourists recently.

Yeah I bet. Tourism can be good to a point but it's a double edged sword too.
