Sorry everyone, cannot help myself in responding.

Chris, how did we miss each other in Somerset being 2 or 3 miles from each other. I would love to have bought you a drink or two and chatted.
Also I am thinking you are the brother I never had ! You travel our road . We think and agree on literally everything/place you mentioned . We even turned up at Rothenburg a couple of September ago to a costumed festival which was amazing Perhaps you even stopped at Europes biggest Mac turnover site (with log fire) near Innsbruck……..

Jasna is our daily late afternoon sunny stop off . Slovenes are funny. Second weekend in September , we are still sunbathing and Slovenes have decided it’s now Autumn or Winter and stroll in Heavy coats or ski jackets . My new knee is now over a year and I will be skiing the big hill in February. . Did the zip when it went in and we are avid fans of Ski Flying . Often the only Union Jack flying ……I even convinced many I was Eddie the Eagle……I printed a tee shirt pretending or suggesting and we were in the VIP area to add credence. If we cannot meet in the Helyar Arms we could meet at the Cow Ball in Bohinj ….!?

After 27 years of going to Slovenia we now only promote Slovenia to friends including TM, as Europeans now stop in SLO . They used to just drive through to Croatia. The last 5 to 8 years has seen unbelievable growth including lots of Chinese. Thankfully we know where to go to lose them.

If you have more info on special places in Croatia I would be grateful. We don’t know Croatia as well as Slovenia. If you go back to Zadar ( cheap flights) you should get a ferry/Cat to Premuda ! Less than 100 inhabitants and 100+ tourists .
Best to all, MM
