Je connais Le Petit Prince, bien sur. Et sa vie, sa fin (St. Ex pas Le PP). Incroyable. Moi - j'adore Maupassant : "Comme il est profond, ce mystere de l'Invisible! Nous ne le pouvons sonder avec nos sens miserables, avec nos yeux qui ne savent apercevoir ni le trop petit, ni le trop grand, ni le trop pres, ni le trop loin, ni les habitants d'une etoile, ni les habitants d'une goutte d'eau... avec nos oreilles qui nous trompent, car elles nous transmettent les vibrations de l'air en notes sonores."

It established itself as a Republik when the great Yugoslavia fell apart, although the region was always known as Croatio. The region is very pretty and well worth visiting and truly you can take a ferry to Italy it is not that far.

They have some very good hotels and the food is good and not expensive.

Zagreb is a city well worth visiting and a lot to see there. They have a very nice market on weekends.

 

I didn't go to one, but I heard there is a very famous spa there wher it is nice to spend Christmas and New Year.

I have travelled from North to South and East to West over the (once Yugoslavia) all regions are well worth visiting especially Split and Dubrovnik which was severly damaged during the uprising in the 90's, many a historical site was damaged.

I travelled by train and by car several times and was always amazed that there was something I hadn't seen.

A very famousplace is the Pltwitzer which is a natural area, and, was at one time very good to walk around, however, I am not sure if it is open to the public anymore due to some advanced damage from a earthquake in Freoul/Italy in the early 70's.

Croatia (IPA: /kroʊˈeɪʃə/) (Croatian: Hrvatska), officially the Republic of Croatia (Republika Hrvatska listen (help·info)), is a country at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Central Europe, and the Balkans. Its capital is Zagreb. Croatia borders with Slovenia and Hungary to the north, Serbia to the northeast, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the east, and Montenegro to the far southeast. Its southern and western flanks border the Adriatic Sea. Croatia is a candidate for membership of the European Union and is expecting NATO membership invitation in April 2008.
