    400K subs, woohoo! I'm not going to make a video for this milestone, but thanks everyone for watching and supporting the channel. Lots more adventurous videos coming soon. Have a great summer and stay safe and healthy.
    NOTE: A lot of comments about the price of the meal at the end. The plate of food wasn't actually 130 kuna. The cevapcici was 80 kuna and I ordered the grilled vegetables as a side dish, which I thought was going to be extra. But they ended up including that with the main dish. So it was just 80 kuna for the whole plate of food, which is $12.50. And then I had a bottle of water and dessert, so everything together came to 130 kuna. Where they really ripped me off was the bottle of water, which was 30 kuna or $5. I hadn't checked the price beforehand, so that's something to watch out for. You can certainly find cheaper restaurants in Croatia. But if you're going to eat somewhere with a view of the sea in a touristy area, it's going to be tourist prices.

    What a wonderful flashback ... I spent my summers here in the 80's, had a house in Sutivan. I watch a video on a hot day from the office, summer at the time of the corona, and at 10:49 I experience the heat and wonderfully fresh Adriatic Sea and the cooling in it. Brac is a beautiful island, full of history, beautiful girls, and my wonderful memories. Like the whole of Dalmatia. Great video, as if I was walking the streets of Bol myself ...

    As someone who grew up in Split, after visiting all bigger islands in Dalmatia and entire coastline from Vinišće to Makarska, I can rest my case saying Zlatni Rat is my favorite beach I've ever been on. On most beaches there is always something missing - clean water, nicer rocks, more natural shade. I came to Bol and I wanted to stay there an entire week. It was literally perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Croatia. Next year there will be a direct ferry from Split to Bol, so use that opportunity!

  • @tmarinelic
    @tmarinelic 4 роки тому +1

    The main catch for Zlatni Rat is that it is formed naturally just between two sea currents that splashes at him from both sides so it is never the same, swings all the time but never get blown away into sea

      The year is 2020 and most of Croatians still dont understand how catering gastronomy works lol. There is a difference between eating food in restoran location, service, atmosphere wise and eating cevapcici in some dirty smelling street fast food with pidgeons landing on your lepinja. Its your chooise where do you want to go noone is forcing you so i dont understand the complains exept jealousy.

      @superbura9 superbura9 He payed 70 kuna for those measly 6 pieces of chevapchichi, which comes to 20 pounds and whole meal cost him about 138 kuna which was a total rip off. I bought in Cosmopolitan London 1 kg of Grilled lamb, (jagnjetine sa raznja ) and payed 22 pounds. Do you see the difference? One thing is to be expensive and totally different thing to rip off someone taking him for an idiot. You should respect tourists and be grateful to them for visiting your country And I am a JEW not a Serb from London. So which one you dislike more? Equally maybe???

      No problem. Hopefully I got it close to right. The Croatian words can be difficult to pronounce.

    Congratulations on reaching 400k can I ask during this visit to Croatia where are most of the tourists from? Seems busy so wandered if it was more locals travelling?

    • @robertmance1744

      Most of the tourists this year are from Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary and now in August Italians as well - they're also traditional guests.
      Locals make up around 20% tho which is a higher percentage than usual.
      In a normal season, there's usually a lot more people from all over the place, particularly Brits, Scandinavians, Dutch, Swiss, French, Americans as well as the folks from other balkan countries, like Bosnians and Serbs. They had a really serious uptick in new infections however, just as the summer tourist season began, so traveling from other balkan countries is restricted unfortunately.

    I went to the Croatia islands near there for a few days like 30 years ago on a backpacking trip when I was in college. We went there before it was cool to go there, because our European friends mother told us to go there. It was right before the war. I knew nothing about the place, but I could tell the people were not happy, that there was tension. The inflation was so bad, they put the prices in marker at the store, and changed it more than a few times a day. The numbers were something crazy, tons of zeroes, like 1 billion something for a soda. It was cheaper back then, but still not THAT cheap. But actually, it still kind of looks the same to me now. Glad to see the place with independence and doing better.

      it maybe looks the same because of corona restrictions. Not many tourists in 2020. But in 2019 was much different. You couldnt compare 2019 with those pre-war years.

      Croatia is definitely moving up the list of favorite countries, similar to Greece in a lot of ways yet also quite different. I'm glad I've gotten the chance to explore it more this time around.

    You went to see what the scene was by the sea. I think when you asked the young woman about the price of a water taxi and she asked for how many people and you said just one, she couldn't believe that a clean shaven, good-looking American guy like you would be alone. I just dig the vibe in the whole region of Europe you're in, from Austria to Ukraine and all countries in between. I'm glad you're back there. Enjoy. Btw, I'd say mostly on the Heaven side but those gravel beaches ... can't there be any sand there? Happy 400K. Legend.

    I found you a few weeks ago and enjoy this. You seem to travel how we do but you are more adventurous as you are a lot younger. We have traveled a lot of the world and it breaks my heart with this virus and us not being able as U.S. citizens to get out and being seniors, we have to be careful. We were almost stuck in Australia in March and really need to get back to the international travel. If we had Canadian passports we may just do what you are doing!

    It looks very nice, and the water looks incredible. I saw a Croatian news article saying that the Germans are saving the tourism industry there, pouring in by the thousands, driving there. Do you have a time frame for staying in Croatia, or just going with the flow? & Congrats on 400k subscribers. Happy travels, Jeff

      Is that news article a new one?
      The guy from whom we normally rent our apartment in Podgora, just south of Makarska, tells me that starting in May, most of the people come from countries with very cold climates like the nordic ones... Germans and Italians have visited for ages, Austrians and Czechs also, but now there are waves of Poles as a result of an improved economy and a sizable population.
      I'm not surprised Italians go for the olive oil, truffles and pizza... we go from Mexico for Croatia's beaches, culture and specially its people, and we "contribute", very little but often to its economy... HAHAHA.
      Love Hrvastka... and Poland!

      I don’t think the plane was Russian. Yugoslavia back than didn’t have Russian aircrafts. Commercial airlines in the 70’s all had McDonnell Douglas DC 10s. or Boeing 707s
