Trsteno Arboretum: The Gardens of the Red Keep

Tuesday, December 18, 2018

A visit to Trsteno Arboretum completes the ultimate Game of Thrones walking tour in Dubrovnik. Although the place isn’t as magnificent and as magnified as the Old Town, this is one of the places in Dubrovnik where you can appreciate the coastal views and stillness of nature, without the large group of tourists.

As part of our GOT walking tour, we headed to the arboretum by car from Pile Gate. It took us around 30 minutes to reach the place, not knowing what to expect when we see the private estate.

Dubrovnik: When King's Landing Came to Life

Sunday, December 02, 2018

I was thinking of a life update for my 100th post, but then I thought I want it to be a memorable one. Looking back at old photos from not so long ago, I realized how much I miss long-haul flights and traveling to the opposite side of the globe. Almost the same time two years ago, I went to one of the most stunning places in the world: Dubrovnik.

For avid fans of Game of Thrones, setting foot at Dubrovnik is a dream come true. The city walls and the Old Town are true-to-life visuals of King’s Landing. When my husband and I were on our way to Grand Hotel Park from Čilipi Airport, we navigated through the main road that looks over the well-lighted Old Town. I was literally humming the GOT intro theme and I swear, our driver probably heard me squeal with delight!

Game of Thrones and Dubrovnik

Monday, July 17, 2017

So the first episode of Game of Thrones Season 7 aired this morning in Southeast Asia. How do I feel about it without sounding like a spoiler? Aaaah.. I think I'm going to watch it tonight once more on HBO. If you accidentally found this post, I suggest you to have dinner first before watching the first episode.
