Leaving Zagreb wasn’t nearly as difficult as we thought given that Jim now is a lucky man! He has three GPSs, Marilyn in the back, me in the front and Ms. GPS on my lap. At times there are disagreements during which Jim does what he wants and we carry on chatting wondering why he even asks us. Other occasions there are heated discussions followed by quiet times and anyone who has ever tried to follow maps and a GPS at the same time when there is road construction, dead ends and one way streets that the GPS was unaware of can easily get my drift. On top of this I frequently ask for directions, in English, and I never have a clue what they’re saying but smile and carry on……usually the wrong way. So we drove a good bit on day three in Croatia, always off the main highway, which made for beautiful scenery but slow roads. We made it as far as Lovran which is considered to be the gem of Istria and even though it is off-season here it was very busy with lots of tourists. I cannot imagine what it would be like in July! We found a beautiful place to stay where I took this picture off our deck close to sunset. Since it was my birthday that day Jim treated Marilyn and I to dinner at the attached restaurant and the food was the best we have had since we came to Croatia. Everything from appetizers to dessert was fabulously presented and tasted the same. I will try and attach a couple of more photos.p>
