Croatia - The Good and the Bad

[TheURL]

We had a great time driving around Croatia, staying in a rented flat in Omiš - but the list of countries I would never go back to has just gone up to two - to find out why, watch the two short videos HERE - I'm aware this will court controversy with the Croatian Campanologists [if you'll forgive the alliteration ] and possibly some descendants of the Aztecs, but I think I can live with that!

Those chiming bells at 5am wouldn't work for me either @URL. Thanks for sharing your experience. Are you still waking up at 5am with PTSD?​

I was for the first few days after we got back to the UK, yes! Sometimes I think I can still her them!

That would drive me barmy.

So, I guess before you travel, it would behoove one to check with their travel agent if there was anything "cultural-wise" to know about before traveling to a particular country.

Ok, just watched the videos...

First one: very nice pictures and vids of Croatia, a very picture postcard country.

Second one: OMG WHAT'S WITH THOSE BELLS! I had to turn the volume right down to almost protect my sanity. And great, slightly sarcy commentary, really made it. 😁 How did you survive it?

You're an atheist? You'll burn in hell for that...

Precisely - although I only use travel agents for places you can't get to freelance (like Antarctica). When we researched this trip this was something we missed - can't get it right all of the time!

As I sent a link to part two to the local priest in Croatia and also the town council, I'm keen to garner as many comments on the video on my channel as I can so they can see it's not simply the ramblings of a crazy English guy. Please feel free to comment on there too if you can. Thanks.

Sure, I'll do that when I'm back on the PC tonight.
