Chowing down Croatian style, then B to B

While I will still give the nod to Italy for best food in Europe, hands down, I will say that our dining experiences in Croatia were.....interesting.

Jon and I did our best to sample many of the local dishes, some pictured below, including pašticada which is beef marinated in wine and vinegar, eaten with gnocchi; baccala a la bianca, which is salted cod with whipped potatoes, and lots and lots of grilled fish varying in terms of quality.

Wash it all down with a Bitter Lemon Pipi (the name provided me with no small amusement) and a palačinke, or walnut crepe (Jon's favorite from his time spent in Hungary) and you are good to go!

After almost a week in Croatia (following the week in Germany), it was good to get back to temporary home in Bologna.

We finished off the weekend with a whirlwind day in Bologna, doing the MamBo (Museum of Modern Art Bologna) in the morning, hiking one of the two towers in the early afternoon (pause for gelato), lunch at Cesarina and dinner at Bitone, a restaurant just outside the city center that earned itself a Michelin star.
