“Would you like two double rooms or a family room? And with a sea view and pet friendly you say, I think we are fully booked.”

These two young couple and their faithful dog found the perfect solution to the overbooking in Dubrovnik hotels and apartments. They found an al fresco room on the beach in Srebreno, Zupa.

A reader sent us these photos this morning as she was surprised to find a group of sleeping bags on the beach.

It is of course illegal to sleep rough like this in Croatia but I think these happy campers will have a bigger problem with the approaching rain storm.
