Svinisce, the hidden treasure

A Dutchman,married, checking out of the country of tulips, wooden shoes, traffic jams, noise and stress. Having family ties in Croatia, retirement gave us the possibility of moving south, direction Split in Dalmatia. NOT living directly at the Adriatic Sea (to crowded and expensive), but at a ten minutes distance of it, in the middle of rural life, nature and true peacefull silence. A fantastic country for holidays, a fine country to retire. Not an easy country for those looking for a job; those bringing jobs are welcome, and those retired, well, they are the lucky ones (like us). A young democracy, soon to be member of the European Union (1-6-2013), and the most western-european country of the Balkan, and a climate a Northern European can enjoy without freezing or cooking. If you don't like paper shit or bureaucratic horror and think you are better than the people over here, just enjoy a short holiday ! In other words: "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen"
