More than ten per cent, just 4 weeks ago

So far, I have been to:

1) Florida
2) New Jersey
3) New York
4) Connecticut
5) Massachusetts
6) Pennsylvania

It seems I have a long way to go, but I’m not in a rush – I’d like to do this at some point in life though.

Croatia No. 30 4 weeks ago

We took the train from Ljubljana to Zagreb – the capital of Croatia, and arrived just as it was getting dark. Our taxi driver tried to outrageously rip us off and then we were shown to our room which mysteriously didn’t have any curtains. So, not a good start.

Next we took a tram ride (the trams in the city centre are free – which is nice) and went the wrong way – getting lost in high rise suburbia at a place where a kind stranger (who spoke brilliant English) told us she had never seen a tourist. Ooops.

But we eventually got back to the main square and found an awesome local restaurant and ate more meat and bread than two people should and had a great night.

So ups and downs for Croatia, but still it was country 30 so I can hardly complain!

1) UK
2) Bulgaria
3) Portugal
4) France
5) Spain
6) Malta
7) Cyprus
8) America
9) Bahamas
10) Costa Rica
11) Nicaragua
12) South Africa
13) Lesotho
14) UAE
15) Oman
16) Ireland
17) Sri Lanka
18) The Netherlands
19) Belgium
20) Canada
21) Mexico
22) Morrocco
23) Italy
24) Vatican City
25) Poland
