Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik was a quick stop. I only had a couple hours to explore this tourist-packed city. The highlight of the destination was a morning stop at a small family-owned property in the countryside that grows olives and grapes and produces small quantities of both (you guessed it) olive oil and wine. I got to test both at around 8 in the morning, and despite the early hour I strongly approve of both. The olive oil is certainly one of the best I've ever had.

Did I mention we stumbled across the filming of next season's Game of Thrones? I got quickly (and firmly) stopped by security after shooting this one.
