hi rob,
regarding croatia, i want to give you this info uncomforatble places to sleep or to put up a tent, because it is about mine fields and warnings. There is an english page, so you can check the situation – see "www.hcr.hr" and "http://www.hcr.hr/index.php?link=minska-situacija&lang=en" and "http://www.hcr.hr/gfx/karte/SKzup.jpg"
In these areas you have to stay on track, otherwise…booommm…!
Cheers
Achim, for that very reason I am quite looking forward to Croatia…nothing quite like some excitement involving landmines.
