| Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia |
| In April, 2007 we took a 17 day trip to Croatia and Slovenia, with a day trip into Bosnia & Herzegovina to the city of Mostar. We really didn't know what to expect but it was just wonderful. These countries are beautiful, with sophisticated cities, quaint towns and beautiful landscape. Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures we took during our tour. |

 |
| Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, has existed since the middle ages. The city walls are still intact and you can walk the entire circumference. Stone buildings, tiled roofs and cobbled streets give the old city a unique feel. Shelled during the Balkan Wars, most of the buildings have been restored. |

| The city of Split, home to the Roman Emperor Diocletian, is where he build his retirement palace. Much of the walls and interior buildings still exist today as a commercial and residential area of the town. |

| In the city of Pula stands the ruins of the 6th largest Roman Amphitheater |

| We spent three days in Zagreb, the capitol of Croatia, and left feeling there was much more to see. A university town with many museums, theaters, churches, classic buildings and impressive cemetery, was a wonderful ending to our trip. |
