98/06/29 The first day in Rijeka.
98/06/30 I decided to hitch-hike to Split (in the South of Croatia). I think it was not my day, so after 3 hours hitch-hiking I returned to Rijeka. In that moment has been finished football competition between Croatia and Romania (1:0). Then started a strong rain and a storm. I delighted with the celebration of the football fans in Croatia. Some of them swimed in the bogs on the ground. It was astonishing.

CONCLUSIONS: The best hitch-hiking was in Slovenija. Here I saw a lot of hitchers. The most beautiful country was Slovenija. It has only 2 mln. inhabitans, but here you will find mountains, flats, caves, sea and, of course, friendly people.
