If you are north of Split then go to the Plitvik National Park: it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a delightful place to spend a day.

It's probably just the oil-pressure switch. :-) You can imagine all sorts of new engine noises when they fail. -- Eiron. Alazzurra (1985) GSXR1100L (1990) XL883L (2008) |
