Weekend in Croatia

For the long weekend, Glen and I decided we needed to get out of rainy Blava so we rented a car and drove to sunny Croatia! It took us a little over 3 hours to get to our first stop in Croatia (we drove through Slovenia and Hungary) Only one small incident when Glen panicked and just drove past the Hungarian border guards. They didn't like this much, but let us through anyway. We spent the night in Valazdin - a random pick on the map which turned out great - lovely town with a festival going on. We definitely felt a different "vibe" in Croatia: everyone was friendly and spoke more/better english than in Blava!
We loved Croatia - beautiful coast, mountain scenery, scary windy roads, interesting fried fish dishes...(as seen above) We also plan to return for a longer visit, maybe when Paula and Erin arrive.

It is hard to believe that this country was at war not so very long ago. Again if interested, see:
