Croatia

Everybody that has been to Croatia is always recommending for everybody to go there, and I am glad I did.
Geographically is a beautiful country but what makes it even better is the people. They are so nice and friendly and welcoming that as soon as you arrive you feel at home.

I stayed in Ratkovica for 10 days in a farm with many chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, guinea fowls, 2 rabbits, 16 sheep and couple peacocks.
The turkeys, chickens, guinea fowl and peacocks had babies, and they were all so cute…. The rabbit was pregnant; however it did not have the babies before I left, oh well….

The first day I was there, my host and I sat at a table in the backyard to have lunch and the peacock gave us a beautiful show of feathers and dance, just great!

Raktovica is a very small town. The place I was staying was outside of town, very peaceful and quiet. For entertainment you go visit your friends or neighbors and have something to drink and eat. Everybody wants to feed you, every two hours they want to feed you.   
The food up north consists of goulash with gnocchi, kielbasa, and different types of sausages, cheeses and breads, all very good and tasty and plenty of it.
Down the coast they eat more sea food and Italian food. Lots of pizza, pasta and gelato, all very good also, however, it did not felt like Croatian food.
