Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

Croatia - Road Trip

We would say this was 'typical' Dalmatian scenery, but it was more spectacular than anything else.

CROATIA | Monday, 24 July 2006 | Views [327]

We would say this was 'typical' Dalmatian scenery, but it was more spectacular than anything else.

In a land of lunar-like landscapes, it was always a treat to drive almost literally into these gorgeous lakes. When the car is hissing from the heat you could almost believe that the car was driving itself towards these lakes, or 'jezera'.

Dubrovnik, on Croatia's very south coast is actually surrounded on 3 sides by Bosnia and the other by the sea. To drive to Dubrovnik you must first go through separate Cro/Bos border checkpoints when leaving Croatia, and then respective Bos/Cro checkpoints again about 8km later on the other side. We were astounded to hear that Croatia has started building a 3km bridge from the Croatian side in the north (photo, right hand side) to the peninsular, which eventually adjoins Dubrovnik in the south - hence bypassing Bosnia altogether.
