We have been staying primarily in sobes, or rooms within a private home. Basically they are rooms to let by the owners of a house, and this is a budget travels (basically what Ashley and Michael demand) preferred lodging in Croatia. Our first sobe was in Zivogosce, and our landlord seemed gruff when negotiating the price. However once we agreed to stay there, Ervin and the landlord became fast friends…..drinking shots of homemade grape brandy and checking out the nude beach. He advised us on activities and travel along with sharing grapes from his arbor shading the front porch. We also had lovely Czech companions in our sobe who shared a delightful traditional Czech meal with us.
Our next sobe was near Plitvice in Bobin Potak. The walls were paper thin and over-sexed Germans stayed with us the first night. The second night we ran out of hot water and had no idea how to get more until early in the morning when some new Germans assisted us. But these new Germans also assisted themselves to our toothbrush covers. Once this occurred, we made a hasty exit.
Tonight we are staying in Northern Croatia at Milanska. The apartment is the nicest of all and and our landlady is wonderful, even doing our laundry Tomorrow we go our separate ways and Ervin and I head to Slovenia…….
