Opatija is a nice sea resort, with beautiful hotels built at the beginning of the 20th century.
Just one picture of the sea, for those who did not have the opportunity to have a nice swim this summer :
When you get away from the sea coast, and enter the countryside, you discover the part of the country which was really touched by the war. Half of the houses are brand new, and half of them are still in ruins. The cemeteries along the road are full of very recent graves, no need to enter, you can see it from the outside.
Plitvice, one of their 8 national parks, is a land of rivers and water falls, there are hundreds (thounsands ?) of them everywhere. As the temperature has lowered a bit, it is almost cold under the tree shade. The only noice around is the birds singing and the water flowing, but you might cross surprising animals...
It is not that easy to find an Internet connection in Croatia, so I have accumulated a huge delay, and will therefore not go in details through all the stops on the way down to Dubrovnik. In just a few words, the coast is incredible, and worth visiting the country just for those sceneries. All the historical cities (some of them partially rebuilt after the war 10 or 15 years ago) and the small villages are places where you want to spend a couple of hours.
