Photographs van Croatia, summer 2007

Photographs van Croatia, summer 2007

This year we wanted to go to Croatia for a longer period of time. But in the end we also made some trips to the neighboring countries Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Slovenia and it was more than rewarding, one of the most impressive holidays ever. In Croatia we met our friend Joshko again and we went to the Krka and Plitvice national parks. And a few city visits to Dubrovnik and Split.
Here all all the photographs of this journey that we use on the website.
