Organizing my visit to Barro Colorado was not an easy task since the person in charge of the press had been injured, so it took me several months to coordinate the date.

Our trip to Croatia started in the capital, Zagreb, since we went by train from Budapest, Hungary. After spending a few days exploring, we decided to change the scenery and go south, to the Dalmatian coast.
