said about this walk

“Istria in May was paradise. Butterflies, bees, wildflowers, rabbits, an owl, a soaring hawk, tiny villages, high rocky hills.”

 

“The walk was designed with great skill and it was a great joy as it unfolded each day.”

 

“The most wonderful spring flowers I’ve seen for years.”
