Croatia, Summer 2008
Hi,
Having dragged the family around Morocco in April we are now looking forward to the next trip and have been toying around with Croatia.
I know of a few people that take organised trips down there, but we would prefer to do it on our own or with perhaps another family.
Are there any good books/sites worth looking at for background info on the area?
At this stage I know absolutely nothing about the country, although a couple of people have recommended it and both have said it's like stepping back in time 20yrs at least which really appeals!
I'm particulary interested in finding out:
- Camping situation - can we wild camp, are there camp sites around?
- Places of interest, particularly that might appeal the children. We will want to visit some of the coastal regions as well as some of the more rural areas.
- Good source of digital maps to run with TTQV.
- The state of the off roading tracks - we are happy to venture off into the undergrowth, but I don't think my wife will be too happy if we have to spend all day winching ;-)
- Language - speaking English and some French, how easy is it go get by? Are there any phrase books worth getting?
We will be travelling via Landcruiser + home made off road trailer (4th child due in December).
So any pointers would be appreciated.
