For a very good reason, these lakes and waterfalls are on the World Heritage Register and I’ve put up on my facebook some photos that really don’t do the place justice. Being the natural athlete that I am, I was keen to do the run on the boardwalks that take you around the lakes. But

The seaside in Cro-land in July/August is not for the locals. They are working at anything that is, even vaguely, related to tourism. There are thousands of little cabooses set up along every boardwalk in Istria and Dalmatia selling made-in-China authentic souvenirs like Croatian Flag placemats, shot glasses and biscuits (would you believe you can

Z-town & I have parted ways, so here are some of my final thoughts. Drinking: Jeeeesuz, do these Cros know how to drink! All around the main square are cafés. The signs say ‘cafe’ and ‘drinks’. This literally translates to coffee and booze. NO food. We kept going into these places – they look like

From the sublime to the camel toe, all bases are covered in Zagreb. Mostly these super-skinny women, with legs that have NEVER chafed at the thighs, are over-the-top decked out.
