People kept asking why THERE and I told them I wanted to go before everyone else does. But take a look at the photos and you'll see the real reason. It was Croatia's red-tiled rooftop sanctuary in Dubrovnik and Slovenia's laid-back solitude in Bled. It was the war stories I heard and the appeal of an Eastern country struggling to better itself. |
