Last day in Croatia so thought we would just stay at site. However on drive into Ston we had seen a wall across the hill and it looked like people were on it, so thought we’d investigate. Amazing, back in C14 after Dubrovnians had acquired area they sorted out defending it.
So on one side of hill was walled town Ston and on other Mali Ston, but they built a wall across the hill, joining them and making it possible to walk from one to the other, whilst also being defended all the way.
It is being renovated but it is possible to walk the wall from Ston to Mali Ston, which is what we saw, so we did too.
Quick drink in Ston, very nice small village (now, but could become bigger if they wanted to, especially with the wall feature) few cafes, bars and restaurants plus two supermarkets. Back to beach for swim, we thought.
Weather had other ideas and clouded over and then produced another thunderstorm. This is becoming a habit and not one that we fully agree with. So Croatia fizzled out, sadly. Still off to Italy tomorrow, that should be lively.
