Can’t This Country Keep It’s Clothes On?

There is no country in Europe that likes being naked more than Croatia. It all started when the Germans and Austrians ruled this corner of the world. Their love of nudity combined with the beauty of the coastline was all it took for this lifestyle to take off like a firestorm across a Kansas wheat field. Every beach and every major town has a nude beach close to it. At virtually all of these beaches, “the gays” have carved out their own little part, usually on the rocks and usually with bushes close by. What is the point of being naked if you can’t have a cruising place to dance around in. And it appears Croatians love camping naked as well. Just outside of Porec, there is a naturalists camp with 559 tent spaces as well as trailer hookups and apartments you can rent. If tht is a little too small of sampling of naked bodies, across the river is another naturalists camp that holds 3000 people. No, that is not the biggest. There is a camp further south that holds 6000 people in camp sites, villas and apartments. Nudity is such an accepted aspect of Croatian culture, almost every bay we drop our anchor, the majority of boaters will drop their textiles. We love anchoring right in front of the gay section and see what swims out. For some reason, running around naked on our beautiful boat is like a worm on a hook. Most of the time we catch some very cute naked friendly guys. And if that isn’t a friendly enough gesture, check out the statue I saw in Pula. Now you gotta love two hunky bronze guys forever caught in a compromising pose.
