04. August – 09. August 2011
Our first impression of Croatia wasn't
very good. There were narrow, rocky beaches and German advertisement
(ich sage nur: “LIDL lohnt sich. Auch im Urlaub”) along the road.
And many German and Dutch vacationers. The first two days were not
the best ones of this trip. No nice beaches and way too many people.
We almost turned around and left Croatia, but - luckily - decided
otherwise. 
We hung out at a crowded campground with an acceptable
beach for two days and relaxed before going further south. And it
paid off that we did give the Dalmatian coast a chance and drove all
the way to Dubrovnik. A beautiful old town directly at the crystal
blue Adriatic sea. We walked around town along narrow cobblestone and
marble streets; between very old buildings with thick walls and on
the city wall that goes all around the town with amazing views. But
the best thing was a tiny bay just a short walk from the city center
with extremely blue and clear water that we had almost to ourselves.
We went for a swim and enjoyed the sun in between sightseeing tours
in town.
Before leaving Dubrovnik we drove up to a lookout point above the city.
The road was extremely narrow and
dangerous but the view over the city with it's old buildings and city
wall, the blue water and the islands, was beautiful.

From Dubrovnik it was a long over night
drive to Zagreb, Croatia's capital. We spent a day there, walking
around the center and up a little hill with an old castle before
leaving for Hungary.
