So on to the fun stuff! We went with not too many plans, other than exploring Dubrovnik and getting on the water somehow. Thanks to our incredibly generous wedding guests, we were able to do much more than my frugal holiday budgets would usually allow, so we tried to make the most of all the … Continue reading Honeymooning in Croatia – part 2
