Halfway Through

Things we love about Croatia:

• the signage: excellent on roads, museums
• clean, free restrooms
• the gorgeous national parks
• the radio: much better than France, Belgium, and Germany
• the fabulous food: a combination of Italian (pasta, risotto, heavy on the truffles) and Middle-European
• charming people who are patient with our shortcomings

Things we DO NOT love about Slovenia:

• Bait and switch that put us in a YOUTH HOSTEL at our advanced age. And a nasty one at that.
• Madonna (and I mean the singer) radio

Things we love about Slovenia:

View of Ljubljana from Castle

• Ljubjlana (except for spelling it)
• Bled (except that it is the past tense of bleed)
• the fabulous food (German/Hungarian/Italian/Croatian)
• charming people who are patient with our shortcomings
