Dober dan, hvla, raćon, molim.

That, my friends, sums up my knowledge of Slovene and Croatian -- which is, of course, more than I knew before yesterday. I get strange looks every time I try to say thank you Croatian-style -- hvla. I have horrible pronunciation.

We came to the island of Krk in northern Croatia with no place to stay and ended up in the wrong city here. Ooops. We had headed for Baška, but ended up...somewhere not Baška. But we're staying in the upstairs of this old lady's house and today we ate Croatian Mexican food for dinner, so all is well.
