I may not have ever managed to take the perfect photo of this incredible spot, but I’ll certainly never forget the experience of hearing the entire city roar when Croatia scored goals in their World Cup match while I visited.

My introduction to Croatia involved an incredibly long bus trip from Ljubljana that passed through Trieste (a city I absolutely hope to visit based on my quick drive through).

My initial reaction to Split was a bit cold.
