Insurance
You can get your UK (if thats where you are...) insurance to cover you in Croatia. I did have a lot of trouble with Serbia and ended up going through Romania instead - which turned out to be a great idea. But I think you can buy insurance at the border - whether its any good is another matter entirely....

We had trouble getting cover for Croatia in 2004, ended up buying it at the border whe we crossed over from Hungary. Can't remember cost but it may have been £8.00 for two weeks third party only and was bought from one of the logistics or shipping outfits in a building near the Customs post.

I was there a few months ago, got insurance at the border (not required if you have green card)
Accomodation - Split, turned up very late so jumped in cheap hotel - overpriced
Dubrovnik - possibly the best/nicest city in Europe has two big campsites, just follow the signs - they were shut when I was there but should have opened in April. Failing this and cheaper than a hotel go down to the bus station and look for kind looking old ladies holding signs saying 'SOBE - ROOMS - ZIMMER', this was a great option, and they even had a garage that I could stick the bike in. Crazy ride to the house though....

Hi Henry:
Uh, careful with statements like that. I have a 'green card' that insures my motorcycle in Europe, but only in the EC countries and Switzerland.
The concept of the 'green card' is that it implies that you have the legal minimum insurance cover for all the EC countries (plus CH). Not all insurance policies that come with a green card include cover for countries that are not in the EC - for example, the former Yugoslavian countries (excepting Slovenia, which is now in the EC).
Riders need to check the boxes at the bottom of the green card slip to see what countries have big X's through them, indicating that the coverage does not extend to that country.
