Real life Game of Throne Mountains
The hub of Split
Right now I'm laying on a boat waiting to leave the island of Brac after a day of island hopping around Croatia. I left Thursday night at 9:45 for Split, Croatia. What was suppose to be a 12 hour drive, turned into a 14 hour nightmare. We we're suppose to leave at 9 pm and arrive at 9 am, however we got to Croatia at 12:30. Yup, miserable, but totally worth it.
During the day I wandered around Croatia for a bit by myself and then met some other people on this trip at a rocky beach which was beautiful. The water was cold but I still enjoyed it. Later on I went back to the hostel which is called Glosi and Bossy. It's a super chic hostel with Japanese style beds, which are beds inside the wall. Pretty cool. I got ready and went to dinner at this place called Fefi, it was good. I got a seafood risotto, filled with clams, squid, octopus, some type of fish. Mom and dad, you should be so proud of me for all the food I've been trying. But Croatia is known for their seafood, so there's no better place to eat it. I then went and shopped around Croatia and got some sick new sneakers for wicked cheap. Very European looking, but when in Europe.... That night we went on a pub crawl and started off at a club called Dance Emporium and then ended up a one near the middle of the strip we are on. It was a lot of fun.
Roomies in Croatia, night II
Split from the harbor on the boat cruise
Saturday morning we woke up at 10:30 and then left for our boat cruise around 11:30ish. We stopped at the first island and then made our way to Brac. In Brac we went to the beach and then shopped a little because everything is so cheap here. We're heading back now to Split and I'm gonna shower and take a nap. Tonight we're going out to a late dinner since we aren't going out because we leave at 8 tomorrow for Krka National Park where we hike a little and go to some unreal waterfalls. For dinner we went to Velum, it was this cute restaurant on the port. It was so good, I split calamari with a few girls and it was unreal. It tasted so fresh, like it was just caught and cooked. For my main meal I got salmon, it was so good as well. It was a nice change from all the pasta, pizza and other Italian food I've been eating. It was crazy to see our bill which was 1530.00 kunas, which in reality is like $260. But that much for 12 girls isn't that bad considering we all got fish and steak and it was all soo good. You gotta love going to other countries where your currency is in favor. We didn't go out that night considering we had to wake up early this morning for a 8 am departure and 2 hour bus ride to the waterfall. Instead we got amazing crepes and went to bed early. Totally fine with me though 😊
Salmon Steak anyone?
The Krka national park was amazing, the waterfalls were beautiful. The water was so clear and cold but it was super refreshing. It was a short 25 minute if that walk to the waterfall along a boardwalk with some pretty spectacular views. I can't still wrap my head around all the sights I'm seeing and experiences I'm having. I'm so lucky that I can do this and add all the traveling to it.
My life, my love, my adventure
Majestic Beauty
Right now I'm on the bus back to Italy and we just got back into Italy about 45 minutes ago. We aren't expected to get home till around 1 am and I have class at 9. The only bad thing about traveling. But all of the hassle is totally worth seeing Europe and countries I probably wouldn't see. Croatia will always have a place in my heart, especially for the day of adventuring around it by myself. Anyone who knows me knows that on most any given day at school, you can find me with my backpack and camera off to the tracks, field, nature trail, you name it to get some adventure time.
Well we got home at 1:45 am and I had class at 9 that morning. The bullets you take for such beauty...
