    no prob Tim, we have lodging, a small stone house on the Adriatic coast!

    unfortunately we have only a small flat here in Zagreb (we’re fixing the “small” part so we expect to be more flexible now in terms of lodging soon), but if you come during summer, you’ll get the most of both Mediterranean Croatia and inland Croatia!

    + i know where they keep the “goodies” – rare and endangered breeds of domestic animals! one guy i know even breeds busa cattle!

    so, if you’d like to drop by, by all means!

    ofcurse, this invitation is also for anyone of the crew here who can come down here during summer!:)

    Are you coming to Tillers? Oh do for the Ox Drovers Gathering! I would love to visit you and see your cattle and old breeds in Croatia. The closest I’ve been was in Albania shortly after the fall of Hoxa regime. Country folk outside Elbasan were plowing with an ox and a wooden plow. Poppies in the fileds in early spring.

    unfortunatelly Vicky, i’m not coming to Tillers, that was just a pun…(unfortunatelly!)
    as for you, if there is a chance that you can come, sure, do come! we’ll have a drive around the country (it aint too big:D) and we’ll see something yet! i know aproximate locations of herds of indigenous grey cattle, plus i know at least one breeder of busa and istrian cattle. and we’ll manage for other critters too!AAND i’ll have an excuse to hit the road and see all the critters myself! maybe even to Hortobagy, Hungary!
    oh, if you can come, please tell me when, so it don’t collide with my traveling up north this summer! would be a real shame to visit croatia and not have a local guide to ancient breeds!

    you saw nice stuff albania (oxen plowing), but i’d be afraid to go there…

    poppies… one of their specialities. 😀 and they dont use them for making poppy seed cakes, too! at least not ones to eat!:rolleyes:
