It's actually my honeymoon, and I'll be going for two weeks at the end of June, early July. On the tentative agenda is exploring Zagreb and Dubrovnik, as well as going to see Plitvice Lakes. I'm also really hoping to run into Mirko Filipovic. Any ideas or thoughts, or things I simply can't miss while I'm out there? I'm not opposed to buying a train ticket and leaving Croatia for a few days to check something out near there.

Haha. I've fantasized about spotting him and running up to him in the streets, and having him react that exact same way. Also, I just read that his estimated worth is around $4.5 million, which surprises me!

Nude beaches!

I know spacehampster has been.

I've only been to the north and the south's supposed to be much better - since you're headed to Dubrovnik, you're already doing it better than me. Definitely check out Plitvice (just try to go on a weekday, it's ridiculously packed on weekends), and if you're going to leave the country, also go to the Postojna cave in Slovenia. One of the guys in my band is from Dubrovnik, so if you want some pointers for that area, I can ask him.

Trains in Croatia are supposed to be legendarily shitty, though. The last time I was there, another Croatian friend of mine who lives in Switzerland drove me to Triest and basically said, take the train here in Italy where they have functioning public transportation. If you know anything about Italian trains... that doesn't bode well.

Also, Tomislav pivo. And maybe a blindfold because Croatia is full of insanely hot women and you'll gawk and piss off that spousal unit of yours. Bad enough you made her wait an extra day when you came home from Switzerland.

We played in Zagreb... unfortunately didn't have much time for sight seeing. I hear that Croatia is beautiful by the ocean.

Thanks for the pointers, Mike. I might just end up taking a flight from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, then. I just assumed the trains are as good as they are in Switzerland and most of Western Europe. The travel Wiki says where buses are found, they're pretty good, so I might do that for the trip to Plitvice. I'm excited.
