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 - Zadar & Policnik

CROATIA | Saturday, 15 July 2006 | Views [1037]

Relaxing by the beach in Zadar with Tomi, Maria's cousin. What we're sitting on is actually a pipe organ built over the water that makes sounds of varying pitch when the waves undulate under it. Very unobtrusive sound and peaceful.

View from Maria's aunty, Teta Rosa's place in Zadar - typical Yugoslav style. We spent a lot of time here, hanging out with Tomislav (Maria's cousin) and heading into town from here, only a 5 minute walk away.

This poster appears on buses, walls, in shopfronts and on huge commercial billboards you pass when driving into town (alongside pictures of the Pope, of course). His name is Ante Gotovina, a general who served in the Croatian army during the war 10-15 years ago. He has recently been charged to appear before the Hague because of war crimes allegedly committed by some troops under his command. It appeared that he has a lot of support among locals.
