Croatia (again)

[manda_5040979]

Having read all the last 37 pages on Croatia and Germany covering the last 18 months, can the people that travelled there in 2005 please summarise their experience. Which area/site, things to do etc. and was the distance worth it. We are planning a trip in August 2006 with 2 children. This taking us through Germany/Austria from Zeebrugger. Also any suggestions of stop overs. Many Thanks

We were in Croatia in 2004 and were frankly a little disappointed. We had ourselves partly to blame for going in the off-season (May) because a lot of the amenities were still closed. And don't go expecting any sandy beaches. Camping sites tend to be enormous (over 1000 pitches is not uncommon) - a legacy from the old communist era.

Like I've said in a previous post on the same subject, it's OK and perhaps worth going if you've been everywhere else but I wouldn't go a second time.
