The majority of our trip was spent in Croatia.
Croatia became a country in the 1990s. It was previously part of Yugoslavia. After WWII but prior to 1991, maps looked like this:
Today, Yugoslavia has divided into multiple countries and the map now looks like this:
This post will cover our adventures at the locations indicated with pretty, pink stars:
We flew in and out of Zagreb, so were able to explore the capital some:
We cruised along the coast with stops in Rovinj:
and Opatija which was a popular vacation destination for wealth Eastern Europeans before WWI:
It left us wondering if this trip could get any better? Spoiler: It did!

Then we headed to the coast. We enjoyed our time in the region of Istria. Between WWI and WWII, Istria was part of Italy. It still has an Italian feel. Istria is covered in vineyards and the menus are filled with pizza and pasta options.
We stayed in Motovun which is a medieval town on top of a hill with a real castle. A REAL castle! I was so excited to act as queen and sleep in my castle, but it turns old that real castles don't have air conditioning. Being royalty is a sweaty job.
