I do like Sundays in Croatia..and I was reminded of this on 9th as we woke in Pula Marina to the pealing of chuch bells. They start in earnest at 6am and go on throughout the day. It really is quite compelling.
Shops are mostly shut and churches are full of local people of all ages.
I found out recently that Croatia has 12 national holidays including Easter and Christmas when all public services are closed. The ones that caught my interest were: 22nd June, Day of the Antifacist Struggle,
October 8th Independence Day
and 5th August, National Gratitude Day!
There is always a lot to learn from other people and customs.
