Just how much has Croatia changed physically over the last 35 years?
Big Brother has been watching - ironically since 1984, famous for its George Orwell association. Super cool new top called Timelapse Google Earth, where you can check out over 35 years how any place on the planet has changed.
Looking for examples of quaint seaside resorts meeting the rise of mass tourism? This is the toy for you. And while Croatia has managed to protect its coast more than other countries, some of the changes are quite striking.
