Hi All,
I've been getting few emails with people asking about Croatian places where they can hang. Well there's many.
I will try to list as many as I can think of. If you know of anything that I might have missed, please send me an email
E-mail. If you will send me something please include Name, address and small description
of place. Hope this helps to many people.
Also it's good for you to know that English is my second language, and to be honest with you I never liked writing anyway.
I'm more of logically oriented guy (e.g. I like math and physics a lot more). Point is; if you notice mistakes or grammar inconsistencies, don't bash me.
Instead you can help me (e.g. Send me corrections ;) ), or you can just put up with it and use any
useful info that I post here. :)
