September 2006 - Croatia

Glen decided that if he HAD to turn 30, he was going to do it in style. So, 8 of us (Glen, Robyn, Karina, Liz, Simon, Andrew, Cathy and I) packed our bags and selflessly travelled over to Croatia to offer our condolenses for a week. As it turned out the villa was amazing, the towns and scenery were gorgeous, the weather was stunning (mostly), the birthday party was hilarious and the food was absolutely sensational (especially Restaurant Zigante for Glen's official Birthday lunch). An absolutely brilliant week! Happy 30th Birthday Glen!
