The famed New York Times shines the international spotlight on the Pearl of the Adriatic in it's popular ''36 Hours In'' theme!

Sail Croatia, sail this, sail that and sail the other. All very well and good, but the Pearl of the Adriatic offers a somewhat different experience than just blue waters and a calm sea breeze.

I have written several articles on how the impact of tourism affects me and those like me, a resident who has to live and deal with its immediate effects day in day out, and I can understand why to some, a less than positive viewpoint may come across as quite cynical. It is certainly different to look at Dubrovnik from the perspective of a resident, and it would be very narrowminded of me to assume everyone can relate to my thoughts, but a video I came across on YouTube reminded me that its not just us 42,000 residents who are beginning to feel like things have gone too far.
