Trieste, Slovenia, Croatia
... into the nearest hotel where I am currently, contentedly scribbling, dry and warm, and surrounded by Croatian tourists also waiting out the weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be "nice", apparently the "bora" is a short-lived local weather phenomenon. We'll see. As usual, we are expecting the unexpected with the weather as well as everything else. Upon entering Croatia, for instance, we discovered that we were entirely, and I mean entirely, illiterate with the language and (as ...
The Island of Pag
