I sve rečeno, i još mnogo više neizrečenog, Hrvatska je poziv na putovanje, za mnoge, u nepoznato, putovanje koje će svakim korakom otkrivati novi misterij, novu bajku, novu ljepotu, novi uzdah. Hrvatska je priča, pa ma kako ju počeli pričati, priča koja se nadograđuje, raste, koja nas vraća u davna vremena, a opet je tu, s nama, isprepletena povijest i sadašnjost. U priči baš kao i u svijesti ljudi. Hrvatska je misterij, u srcu Europe, a tako neispričana, neotkrivena, nespoznata.Hrvatska je zemlja omeđena rijekama i morem, Hrvatska je država, ali Hrvatska je ponajprije Dom Hrvata. Dom koji neprekidno postoji od davnih stoljeća. Prvi se hrvatski knezovi, dux croatorum spominju već u osmom, devetom stoljeću, njeni kraljevi se kruniše već početkom desetog stoljeća. Od tada, u neprekinutom slijedu događanja postoji  Hrvatska. Unatoč tome što je samo godinu dana nakon što je Kolumbo otkrio Ameriku, Osmanlijska vojska na Krbavskom polju u Lici pobijedila i pobila svo staro hrvatsko plemstvo. Unatoč tisućugodišnjoj borbi. S Venecijom za pravo da se bude svoj i živi na moru, na otoku, da se plovi i trguje S Turcima za pravo na život, vjeru, pravo da ne budeš rob. S Mađarima za pravo na jezik, državu, ravnopravnost. Iz svih tih previranja Hrvatska je u svijesti naroda ostala rekli bismo genetski upisana. Mogli bismo pričati i takvu priču.Ili bismo naše putovanje mogli zasnovati na razlikama. Onima među ljudima, krajolicima, govorima, pismu
