Zabranjeno (Split, Trogir, Okrug Gornji, Croatia)
“This is not Split. This is near Trogir. I think, wait” says Mr Taxi Driver when we show him our accommodation address. He consults Siri. We’re neck deep in traffic in Trogir. Mr Taxi Driver is talking to a friend on the phone. If I …
Throwback Eurovision
