RIJEKA, Croatia, July 18 (UPI) -- A Swedish couple who arranged a vacation to Reykjavik, Iceland, online discovered at the airport that they had mistakenly reserved for Rijeka, Croatia.
Ake and Majne Johannesson decided to go with the flow and took off for the Mediterranean with suitcases full of warm clothes, The Local reports. They have been staying at Njivice, a resort on the island of Krk, where the temperatures are pushing 90 degrees, a good bit hotter than in Iceland, where even in summer the mercury often stays in the 50s and 60s.
Croatian Times, a local newspaper, reports that the couple have been enjoying their trip so much that they plan to make another one soon. But the Johannessons said that their grown children have made them promise that they will not try to reserve that trip or any other one on the Web.
