Croatia
Spent last week in Croatia. What’s amazing: it’s actually not that far from here, only a 6-hour drive, but it’s a world away – and then perhaps not as much as earlier. Tobi and I went on this trip, which was kindly organised by Sinisa and Mario. And what an experience that was! Basically there was a firefighting side to it (flickr), where we spent time with fire departments in Ivanic Grad, Makarska, Varazdin, Ivanec and Zagreb.
Besides all the firefighting stuff, this little round-trip of 2,500km presented us with a plethora of impressions. Perhaps the most impressive is the sudden change from continental to mediterranean climates. I also really enjoyed Varazdin, a beautifully restored town in the far northeast, which also particularly reminded me why Europe is such a great place. Anyway, I’ve put the pics up on Flickr and here is the slide show:

As usual, so much to tell, so little time :)
