If I was to go, I think the boulevards, rooftops and iconic tourist destinations would probably fade in contrast to foreground objects.

I enjoyed Edinburgh more than Paris.

I'd like to see Dubrovnik, hopefully it was too damaged by war?

Any damage has been already repaired in the past 2 decades.
Considering the prices of anything there they probably retilled any damaged roofs with gold slabs.

Personaly for the Adriatic I'd preffer renting a boat and sail among the islands of Croatia and Rovinj second.

Dubrovnik is still a possibility this year but higher on my list than that of the wifes.

Out of all the captial cities I visited during my trip to Europe back in 2010 (not that I visited that many mind you) I felt Paris was overrated, Berlin was nice but had something of a tourist trap feeling to it although the Underworld tour was very cool, I liked London with it's mix of old and new and Amsterdam still has much of it's old world charm. You can check out the photos I took here http://ed12342.deviantart.com/galler...rope-Trip-2010

I had some work related issue in Paris 1989. I really liked it. I felt the spirit of Paris and people were friendly.

No language barrier? That's what putts me off the most about France. A lot of people simply don't want to speak a foreign language.

Youre right about that language barrier in France based partly of a kind a national arrogance. But if you even try to speak some french, it helps a lot for the frenchmen to suddenly know some english.
