Arrivederci Italia!

After a month in Italy, the Trip Heard Round the World moves on to Croatia

(Dateline Chris) on August 30th, we packed up our beloved (by me, anyway) Alfa Romeo Giulietta and left the universally beloved city of Lecce for the universally reviled (though I'm not sure why, it has a nice airport and everyone was super pleasant) city of Bari so we could catch our ferry for King's Landing Dubrovnik. We still aren't caught up on all our Italy updates (spoiler: Lecce was my favorite), but I wanted to let you all know the land of Gelato is in our rearview. Here's to countries where I can't even pronounce the names on the signs, let alone say please or thank you. Croatia, we are happy to be here!
