What a weird setup to have to cross the road at the first restaurant
6:30 Maybe that's why no one tips over there? Better order 2 at a time from now on. I'm enjoying seeing the sites in Croatia
Love your videos. Thanks for the tips and details. I especially appreciate it when you note the cost of things.
