Plate 7. With some of the symposium’s delegates<br />
I took some time off from the symposium to see places in Croatia. We first headed towards the old city of<br />
Dubrovnik which was a few km away from the venue of the symposium. It was only a few minutes ride to<br />
get there by shuttle bus. The city is known to have many state-of-the-art marinas where boats and yachts<br />
belonging to the locals and foreigners are berthed (Plate 8), while their owners are having quality time on<br />
land or looking for adventures in the ancient city.<br />
Plate 8. Having quality time with my wife at the<br />
Dubrovnik old city<br />
Members of my family followed the midconference<br />
tour of the symposium. We were<br />
taken to places of interest to scientists and<br />
tourists alike. One of the stops was a small<br />
historical town having Great Wall of China-like<br />
monument (Plate 9). This mini great wall was<br />
under the state of disrepair or neglected for a<br />
long time, but now it is under renovation. It was<br />
first built by the rulers of Dubrovnik during the middle ages to mark her territorial boundary.<br />
