Game of Thrones……Dubrovnik

When I booked our apartment in Dubrovnik I had never heard of Game of Thrones! It is not as popular in Europe as it is in the US…….
However we heard  that the fortress and small bay we overlooked from our window are apparently prime sites used in the production!

We didn't think we would have an opportunity to see it being filmed, however there was a notice in the Tourist Office that they would be filming in a few locations around the town and so we were on the lookout!!

First item we saw…… and wondered about …... but it wasn't clear until we saw the second one……

……. the arrival of the props……

I tried to take more photos but was informed no photos were allowed…..

but the banners were a dead giveaway …..

and its amazing what a good telephoto lens can do……

 We did actually see the cast leaving the set…..

However, not having watched the show, we have no idea who these characters might be…….

We also visited one of the areas where they apparently do film a lot…..
judging by the electrical system left in place……

I presume anyone familiar with the show may be able to identify this Fortress……

 …..there were great views from the top!

and of course there is the inevitable Game of Thrones tour! We did not feel tempted to join!
