    You're picking up our language real well Gabriel! Odlicno! That's the thing about Croatia, Mediterranean climate in the south and the Continental in the rest of the country. Delnice has quite an Alpine climate.
    You could be swimming at Zadar County beaches while enjoying a magnificent view of the Velebit mountain range, it's highest peaks covered in snow at times. Not sure if you're going to be visiting any other islands. Island of Pag is very unique.
    My English hubby calls it Moon Island, something to do with configuration of the terrain, the look of it as you're approaching the island. It's connected to mainland with the bridge. Another bigger island that's connected with the mainland is the island of Krk (where Rijeka Airport is).
    I've noticed you're not vegetarian. If you get a chance to plan one of your meals , it would be nice to try one of our, still very popular traditional meals, roast lamb = pecena janjetina. Delicious but it's got to be preodered. Served with roast potatoes and vegetables. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! Bok!
