🚐🇭🇷 FIND PENGUINS ENTRY — ADRIATIC ECONOMICS 🇭🇷🚐

Tonight I’m parked up in Ičići on the stunning Adriatic Sea and I’ve accidentally become an international financial analyst. 😂

There’s a campsite I used to use between Kingston upon Hull and Beverley when visiting the kids. Lovely owners and ideal for family visits.

But financially… Croatia is absolutely bodying Britain at the moment.

UK version:
💷 £25 a night
⚡ No toilets
⚡ No showers
⚡ Underneath enough electricity cables to recharge a Tesla by standing outside
🍺 Nearly £6 for ONE pint

Croatia version:
🇭🇷 €25 a night
🚿 Heated shower blocks
🚿 Spotless toilets
⚡ EHU included
🌅 Adriatic sunset included free of charge
🍺 €4 for ONE ENTIRE LITRE OF BEER

Now for the mathematics…

At today’s exchange rate:
💶 €25 = about £21.30

So Croatia is actually CHEAPER than the pylon field near Hull. 🤣

Beer maths gets even worse…

🇬🇧 Hull:
£6 a pint = roughly £10.56 per litre

🇭🇷 Croatia:
€4 a litre = about £3.40 per litre

Meaning UK pub beer is over THREE TIMES the price. 😂

In Britain:
“Would sir like another pint?”

In Croatia:
“Would sir like an entire reservoir of lager while overlooking the Adriatic for the price of half a sandwich meal deal?”

Honestly this whole trip is starting to feel like I’ve discovered a secret cheat code for life.
