The best small towns in the Istria county of Croatia
A large large portion of my 2019 Europe trip was spent in Croatia, and I was so lucky that part of it was with my friend Erin, who did a river cruise and was able to meet up with me in Vienna. We had already visited together Ljubljana and Bled, Slovenia, and had then traveled …

Abu Dhabi 6/30/16 (Day five)
