The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

These photos are really so lovely.
So sad if the food is not inspiring cos the photos certainly are.

The food really isn’t that big of a deal as I have to lose another 10 kg before I get back to Germany as I’m trying (again) to qualify for German health insurance.

I’m trying to think of it as helping me here in Croatia because for sure when I hit Italy - which has excellent supermarkets - it will be harder to say ‘no’. I’ve even booked an apartment near my favorite (and the best) supermarket in Venice.

So I should say thank you to Croatia for helping me lose weight!

Those Croatian roads are very twisty. And narrow! The trucks are wider than the lanes. And people drive soooo fast. We rented a car for two days. I drove. It was terrifying! Needless to say, I am impressed that you took your car!

See, everything is relative because I’ve found the Croatian drivers to be sooooo much better than in Italy. The generally low-stress driving experience been a really big plus of Croatia so far. And the narrow lanes are NOTHING compared to Cornwall, though I’m not too keen on being on what feels like the wrong side of the road (my brain now thinks narrow lanes = drive on the left).

Where did you drive? I may have only hit the easy bits so far!

Yesterday was challenging because I get car sick really easily and all those curves. Berk! Plus I did get a tad freaked out by the sheer cliff drops down to the sea. It was beautiful and most of the road had railings, but for the part that didn’t - woo heee! 🫣

Who was emitting the swear words? The lady in the bed, Floki’s ML, or your ML? If it was your ML, I hope at least she was practising her Croatian at the same time.

So maaaany swear words! All coming from ML in that whisper under your breath way she does so only I hear them! It is wrong, I am a sensitive and classy Spanish gentleman whose poor leeeetle ears do not need to hear that! Pfft! She called me a “terrible, horrible, naughty leeeeetle dog!” Pfft again!

And not even any Croatian! At least that would have been educational.

The lady in the bed did let out quite a loud noise, but I believe it was a shout of delight at seeing such a guapo Señor suddenly come to visit.

And Floki is a leeeetle fat. I was doing him a favor by eating his food, sabes?

Amigos, a few photos of our adventures exploring Dubrovnik today. It was an interesting day because it started with the TARDIS being threatened to be towed away by the policia, then me not being allowed on the bus, but then we said, “Pfft! Who cares, let us go be tourists!”

We had mucho company in being tourists because Dubrovnik was FULL of us. Soooo many people. But because I am me, I embraced the situation and made many new amigos as we walked the walls and visited the fort.

Here I am doing my best Game of Thrones pose at Kings Landing.


A view of town from the fort. There were a lot of steps. My paws still hurt!


For @Stacia, even ML could not shoot around THIS many people.


Looking guapo on the city walls.



She let me off lead and I did not run into the nearest kitchen. Ves, you see? I CAN be a serious and responsible Spanish gentleman.
