We all love your sense of humor, my dad laughed so hard when Julia was being blown away on the island of Pag. ( thank you for that, he's not in good health and it's a dream to hear him laugh like that) . I was wondering a few things ... are you using airbnb for the guesthouses you stay in? What editing software you use? And how much was your rental for the 60+ day trip. Thank you for bringing my household a lot of beauty and laughter 💕

Sending lots of love to you and all your family ❤️
      We use either Airbnb or Booking.com 😊 We use Final Cut Pro X to edit and the car cost €1400 overall 😊

      @daniiel mlinarics Chill dude. It's not 10€ that's debatable. It's the attitude to charge you for almost anything in Croatia, and to squeeze out of you the most that's possible at that moment. That's what's making it an expensive destination in my eyes. To be honest a lot of services is cheaper in Greece, Portugal or Spain than in Croatia, not to even mention Turkey. But that's all fine. Just... that's an adequate reason to call Croatia expensive for someone! And you are quite wrong if you think no "west EU citizen" won't share this view.

      We left the UK in December 2020 to travel full time on a very tight budget. Just becuase we are from the UK doesn't mean that we are 'by definition' rich! We are far from it. That attitude from some people also never ceases to amaze me!
      Yes we hired a car for two months, which was a massive decision that we made for a reason and one we didn't take lightly, so what?
      On that note, we can make any decision we like and we can have any opinion we like on the cost of things, wherever it is.
      You have no idea of any of our expenses or anything like that but you are so quick to make a judgement.

    Wrong from the start, Pula or Pola in Italian is in Istria... worse thing you can say is that is Croatia, Italy or Slovenia, its all of these things but also none of them, when you understand that you'll udnerstand Istria and Pula - Pola...

      Too many rules in every single place, perhaps it would be safer if you were to watch someone from Pula’s videos as they would get it perfect 😊❤️
