We've been in Europe since August 5th, going on our last leg today. Travelling from Rijeka to Venice with a stop in Trieste. We started with 2 nights in Ljubljana, then spent 4 nights close to Karlovac where we hit a bunch of small villages/towns, including where my parents were born, plus Zagreb. Then we headed down to the coast with a stop on the way in Rastoke & Plitvice. Spent 9 nights in a small town on the coast called Pirovac where we would walk to the beach daily & just relax & swim. While in Pirovac we did a couple afternoon trips to Biograd Na More, Zadar, Šibenik & Split. When we left Pirovac we took the old road up to Rijeka, what a road!!! Wish I had my 911 for that, instead we are stuck with a Fiat 600 hybrid that we got as a rental, real POS that's hard to get comfortable in for more than 2hrs. Only redeeming traits are its okay on power & quiet. I was supposed to get a manual (VW Golf or similar), but they didn't have anything available. Enough about that though. We also hit Pula, Rovinj & Opatija while we were staying in Rijeka.

 I'll try to post some pictures, but I literally have 100's of them. We've been posting on Instagram & Facebook, so I know Firm & maybe Fobroader are friends with me in there.

Love the canals.  So much history I bet it really feels like you only scratch the surface of what there is to see.

Any golf courses around those parts?

Also you know we all love to hear about the food and drink, so some highlights of that would be interesting.
