Croatia, the place to be...

This year we went on vacation to Croatia. That country is just fantastic. To start with.... they probably have the finest highway that I have ever had the pleasure of using. It runs from Zagreb to Zadar and further (they are still working on the tail end). It is clean, smooth and beautiful.

First we went to stay in Viganj. For that we had to cross the Adriatic Sea between Ploče and Trpanj. We used Viganj as our base camp for this vacation. We checked out the region by foot, car and boat. The weather was stable and warm with some refreshing winds in the afternoon. We visited Korčula where Marco Polo is supposed to have lived. Actually we visited this beautiful place a couple of times. In order to get there we crossed the Adriatic again between Orebič and Korčula. We went Lumbarda to check out the Mediterranean Sea.

During the last week we checked out places like Lovište watching a fantastic sunset, and Stankoviĉi, where my son made some beautiful dives till 20 meters below sea level. The water everywhere is so cristal clear, you can hardly imagine. The beaches, bays and nature are magnificent. Croatia is truly blessed with such a beautiful nature. I truly hope they will preserve it as it is.

The people of Croatia are very friendly and hospitable. If you make the first move they open up, they tell you stories about the region and share the nicest food with you. They love their country. We've also met very nice folks from Slovenia and Bosnia Herzegovina.

We will be back to Croatia soon. There is so much more to check out. Croatia, the place to be...
