Bless St.
Blasius
An entirely different sight awaits if you turn off onto one of the numerous side streets with their mar steps winding up the hillside. Washing flutters here, women call to children, and the smell of food wafts from open doorways. If you want to get really high then climb the Sergius hill that towers 1,351 feet above the sea. From here one gets the finest view on the Dalnu ian coast which also reveals thu. Dubrovnik has spread inland beyond the city walls with all the functional buildings needed bv a city. Bless St. Blasius people whisper faced with this segregation of the utilitarian from the island and probably hope the patron saint will continue to protect Dubrovnik In the Middle Ages he is even supposed to have caught a cannonball fired by the enemy and effectively hurled it back. An exceptional city needs an exceptional patron saint.  Whether traveling by land or sea along Croatia's shoreline, you are guaranteed a voyage of spectacular scenery and breathtaking views. The bare mountains running like a spine down the coast, the translucent Adriatic and the picturesque towns are surrounded by more than a thousand islands anchored offshore. The fact that most of these islands are uninhabited make them the ideal destination for those who want to get away from the crowds. Some of the roads are not very good, but Croatia is rapidly improving its road infrastructure. Croatia is integrated into the European road marking system. European roads have the mark "E" and highway roads "M". The most picturesque route in Croatia is considered to be the Adriatic highway (Jadranska magistrala) which connects Rijeka and Dubrovnik.

 The Croatian currency is the Kuna, which is divided into 100 lipas. (The word "Kuna" means marten, a weasel-like animal, whose fur Croats used for payment many centuries ago. The lipa is a lime tree, but we don't know the connection here!) The Kuna is overvalued but is nevertheless a stable currency. The current exchange rate between the kuna and various world currencies can be found at the Croatian National Bank. Health The health service is of a good standard. You have to pay for seeing a doctor or being treated in a hospital. Certain countries, such as Britain, have reciprocal medical arrangements whereby, in principal, you should not have to pay for any emergency treatment. It is therefore useful to wave your passport first and mention this!  It is quite safe to travel all over Croatia and mugging and thefts are not a problem. You can safely walk in any town at night, but use your common sense, as always. In some coastal resorts, as is common all over the Mediterranean, single women may be approached or wolf-whistled at. Say no firmly and you will not be bothered. In case of any problems, approach a policeman or even a soldier, who will assist you. Both the Croatian police and the army are well disciplined. If you have a language problem, approach a younger person (teenagers/students) as they all speak some English and will be eager to help. |
