Glad you enjoyed my ramblings about Croatia - it really is a great part of the world. Mind you, Singapore is also nice!

A review would be great if you have the time. And thanks for getting in touch. I'll look out for your books...

Just realised I wrote'Singapore' - I'd just spent one hour trying to book flights to Singapore and had it on the brain!!
Of course I meant your one on the Balkans......

I read your book on Singapore when starting to write about the mores of the island in Croatia that I now live on. You did a great job I thought.
I just saw your name on Goodreads, and wanted to let you know.
I'll put a review on Amazon.(should have done it before!)
