Croatia

---

I was torn between headıng ınto Romanıa or just keep on moving ınto uncharted countrıes. So I called on a few frıends I had ın croatıa to see ıf they were avalıable to hang out. Luck for me they were. I went straıt to Rıjeka to meet up wıth my frıends Davor and Majda. Majda ıs a Doctor so she was only able to spend the evenıng wıth me but Davor was off for the weekend so he took me ın and showed me around. After Rıjeka I moved on to Zagreb where I met up wıth Zravdko for a short dınner then, after a week ın Bosnıa I hoped back ınto Croatıa and spent some tıme ın Dubrovnık. Croatıa ıs very Italıan ın many respects expecıaly the food, lots of Pızza. Dubrovnık ıs all sun and beaches ıts just beautıful the only problem ıs that I'm not the only on who thınks so. In the short tıme I was there there were 5 cruıse shıps whıch came ın and the largest held 8000 passangers. So the streets of the small Oldtown was packed.

Crljenak Kaštelanski
try to find some "Crljenak Kaštelanski"... It is the grand parent of what we call Zinfandel and came from Croatia. jack

hi jim. i found out what is that beast on the photo from rijeka. In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk ('bæzjljsk[1], from the Greek ²±Ã¹»¯Ãº¿Â basilískos, "little king"; Latin Regulus) is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power of causing death by a single glance. According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk of Cyrene is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in length",[2] that is so venomous that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal; its weakness is in the odour of the weasel, which according to Pliny, was thrown into the basilisk's hole, recognisable because all the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence. that beast was on the family emblem of the castle owner.
