These British tourists to Dubrovnik proved that Brexit and political correctness come a poor second to humour, well poking fun at the Germans to be more precise.

This painted van was seen parked in Lapad after having been driven from England; we can only presume that their journey took them through Germany as well! The camper van also advertises camping with a website address, but again we presume that the German market isn’t their main point of call.

The message on the back of the van “Where would we be without a sense of humour? – Germany.

One of the natural symbols of Mlini, near Dubrovnik, a plane tree dating back to 1743 was damaged in the recent high winds. A large branch broke off and was left swinging dangerously in the wind, reports the news site Zupcica.hr. The branch broke on Friday night and due to the risk to the public the Zupa fire brigade have cordoned off the area.

The plane tree, which is located next to the St. Roko Church, is one of the main attractions of Mlini and is the focal point of countless photos from tourists every year. The branch that broke was eight metres above the ground. Unfortunately due to the number of cars in this small side road that have almost blocked the road the fire brigade were unable to immediately react and cut the branch off completely. Another problem is that the Zupa fire brigade don’t have platforms that can reach the branch so they will call in help from another local fire brigade. Until the branch is cut off members of the public have been asked to be careful and keep their distance.

Celebrites have been coming to Croatia for years but this summer has turned our country into the real celebrity magnet! After Bono Vox, Reese Witherspoon, The Black Eyed Peas and many more, the new celebrity is cruising the Adriatic – MC Hammer. He has published many photos and videos from the yacht on the social media, showing his fans that he's having a great time.

- Loving and Living Life. Adriatic Sea. Worlds Fastest Yacht and my friends. We good. Salute – it's written in the caption of one photo.

In case you didn't know, MC Hammer is an American hip hop recording artist, dancer, record producer, entrepreneur, spokesman and actor. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for hit records (such as "U Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit"), flashy dance movements, choreography and Hammer pants. Hammer's superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and hip hop icon. He has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.

The patron saint of Dubrovnik, St. Blaise, has protected the historic city for many centuries, but now it seems he has a new role in life, a beer holder.

The large stone statue of the Dubrovnik saint on the front of the Dubrovnik Cathedral now features a glass bottle of beer. As the statue is quite a way off the ground whoever gave the saint a beer had quite a climb. And as the cathedral is opposite a busy restaurant it can be presumed that the prank was carried out in the early morning hours. To make matters even worse the hand in which the bottle was jammed was damaged in the Homeland War and the three fingers were destroyed by shrapnel. These fragile three fingers are now forced open to hold a bottle of local beer.

We can only hope that the bottle of beer is removed quickly and that St. Blaise can return to protecting the city and not holding beer bottles.

The 31st Summer Olympic Games were definitely the most successful for Croatia so far.

At the Rio Summer Olympic Games 2016 Croatia's athletes won a record breaking total of 10 medals. Three of them were in athletics (two golds and a bronze), one bronze medal in boxing, a gold and silver in rowing, a gold and silver in sailing, a gold in shooting and a silver medal in water polo.

Croatian sports now has five Olympic champions; the discus thrower Sandra Perkovic, the javelin thrower Sara Kolak, rowers Martin and Valent Sinkovic in the men's double sculls, sailors Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic in the men's 470 (dinghy) and the shooter Josip Glasnovic in the men's trap.

Three silver medals were won, by the rower Damir Martin in the men's single sculls competition, the sailor Tonci Stipanovic in the men's laser class, and by the men's national water polo team.

And female high jumper Blanka Vlasic and the boxer Filip Hrgovic in the men's super heavyweight category won bronze medals.
At the end of this Summer Olympic Games 2016 Croatia has found its place in the prestigious group of countries that won Olympic medals. Croatia ranked as the 17th among the 78 world countries, following the US, the UK, China, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, the South Korea, Australia, Italy, Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, Brazil, Jamaica and Kenya. And interestingly by size of population Croatia finished third on the gold medal list behind Jamaica and the Bahamas.

At the Olympics in London in 2012 Croatia won a total of six medals, three of which were gold, one sliver and two bronzes, and placed as the 26th among the 85 country participants at the Summer Olympic Games in London.

Every weekend our resident "Style Guru" will be scanning the streets of Dubrovnik for the latest and greatest in fashion. 

Even though there's been quite a buzz all over the foreign media about the 'bikini ban' in Dubrovnik it seems that some of the tourists haven't heard of did or if they did – they don't care. Plenty of them walked around yesterday in bikinis or just in shorts and honestly we can't blame them since it was hot as hell.  

Just a reminder, because of the decision of the City Council showing your skin could cost you 1000 kuna, or around 133 euro or 146 dollars. If you decide to pay right on the spot you will pay half the price.

As we could see, there are still no signs that are planned to be at the entrances of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, so maybe that's a reason why tourists can walk around ''half naked'' freely still. Soon, as it will get colder, there will be no need for a 'bikini ban' because nobody will wear a bikini anymore.
