I'm on a Bus on a Boat
This is a top pick! ... to be very reasonable, just under $10 before I added in the tip, so I'm glad I went ahead and did it. I think if or when Croatia does go to the euro, prices will definitely go up for tourist items. For example, paying 100 kuna for a 3 hour bus ride sounds ...

Croatian islands, Korcula

What to do on Korcula...
... . Good job I was in the right right frame of mind for it, having been rather company starved the past couple of weeks. Korcula town is walled, tiny and pleasant enough, though it doesn't quite compare with Hvar for wow factor. It doesn't matter, ...

Beauty, beaches, and bugs
