Title: Good Idea, Poor Execution
Product review: The places "visited" in this vidoe are certainly must-sees if you decide to go to Istria (Birthplace of Lidia Bastianich!). Too bad that the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. Washed out colors, hazy vistas, often too-fast panning all combine to make the area not exactly enticing. The unique blue-ness of the Adriatic never comes through; a shame since that is one of the chief draws to the area. Perhaps, Rick Steves will one day decide simply to do one (or better yet, a series) vidoe on just the Croatian Adriatic. I'm sure his level of professional skill and attitude would do it justice. For now, you'll have to be satisfied with his Eastern Europe set of DVD'sRick Steves' Eastern Europe.
