Country Three - Croatia

Vaccine card quickly looked at before departing Istanbul, but after receiving boarding pass. Had to fill out a PLF on line before departure. Upon arrival no one asked to see it. Had to complete another on the plane, no one asked to see it. Had my vaccine card, no one asked to see it. All I can guess is it all pops up when they scan the passport

Enjoy Zagreb, James!

Are you headed out into the countryside.

It’s great that you take the time to post these border-crossing experiences. Thank you.

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to the Bosnia part of the trip. Is Trebinje still on the itinerary? The link you posted on the RS forum somewhere prompted me to add it to my itinerary, which, as usual, ended up being different from my original query. Hope you are enjoying the trip!

Sorry Dave, had to cut Bosnia, but I've been there a few times if I can help. This week, Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Perast, Kotor, Tivat.

Totally understand. My trips always undergo major revision before they happen, too. Enjoy your trip!

What I love about Croatia is the 3 most popular cities are so different. Zagreb is very old world European, Split is all Roman, and Dubrovnik is Medieval. Add in Istria which has an Italian influence and you have something for everyone.

My current impressions: Zagreb an unexpected pleasure; Split, the perfect arrive late and leave after lunch the next day city. Now driving towards Dubrovnik.

If anyone needs someone to guide or help plan, I found an amazing individual.

Don't forget the short drive thru Bosnia and Herzegovina driving towards Dubrovnik.

Just waved through. No passport check.

PM me an email address and I will ask her to contact you. This individual planned all the transportation, some excellent guides, including herself in Dubrovnik; then checked on us a few times a day to make sure everything was going well. Pretty incredible actually.
