Croatia

[Troll]

I remember my parents never wanting to go in the days of the old Yugoslavia because it was full of German nudists.

Then the war came.

Don't know if the naturists have since returned to that part of the world.

A top tip for holiday destinations is to always follow the Germans

14 Hours! good ho.
I can do that, provided there is a beer and steak and chips at the end

Sorry Sir, the steak's off. I can offer you a fracas instead?

I did Hampshire to Tabor. I had a co driver who I really didn't need. Then I did Tabor to Hampshire after a weekend of fighting and partying ... then I needed the co-driver. Then we got stopped by German police and had the conversation:

"Any cigarettes in the car?"
"No, sir"
"Any alcohol in the car?"
"No, sir"
"Any weapons in the car?"
"Erm ... yes - kind of -"
*steps away from the door and his hand drops to his waist with a new tension in his body*
"Get out of the car"

It's our 3rd day in Dubrovnik sitting in the sun on the terrace overlooking the old city
The sea is a perfect blue and the birds are singing.
It took us two days to get to zadar in Croatia then half a day down to Dubrovnik.
A perfect trip apart from riding a red weather warning through the Austrian Alps on Monday
Beer is good at 1.50 a pint

I want to take a jaunt into Bosnia but Mrs eo is dead against it.

If you get a chance, drive along the route number 8 along Croatian coast.

If you fancy somewhere a bit quieter then a hop down the coast to Cavtat is worth a day trip. The coast road is worth the trip on it's own.

Well done getting there.

Bosnia is okay, a bit like the Northumberland moors but without the silly accents. Some of the small towns are beautiful around the Bihac area, look out for the roadside memorials to the dead from the war, some of them are really beautiful and poignant. If you go just be prepared to have your car searched by Croatian customs for cigarettes and booze on the way back.

Yep, we are setting off as soon as the washing is done, heading down to Garuda for a little sightseeing.
I have climbed more steps in the last few days than I knew existed.
I was overweight when I got here ,now I look like a skelington that's done 3 years on the Burma railway
