Croatia: October 2004 Archives

We finally had a chance to upload some photos. They're not all up yet because we couldn't rotate the vertical photos the way we needed to. We've uploaded a good overview of our trip through Croatia from Zagreb up to Hvar (no Dubrovnik photos yet).

We've decided to take the overland route to Greece. There's a bus that leaves from Dubrovnik to Skopje, Macedonia at 7PM this evening, then two trains a day from there to Thessaloniki, Greece (or at least that's what Deutsche Bahn says!). More from Greece!

Two days turned to three then four then five--we loved it there! We spent our days reading on the rocks in the sun, swimming in the clear waters and eating "Sea Fruit" Spaghetti at our favorite restaurant, 'Moli Onte'. Our host Dobrila drew us in the first evening with her genuine friendliness and we kept coming back. The last night we could tell she was feeling a bit under the weather so I offered her an EmergenC. At the end of the evening she came out we a plastic water bottle filled with their special house wine to take with us on our ferry ride to Dubrovnik (people just keep taking care of us that way!) Thank you Dobrila and we hope you're feeling better.

Our trip on the ferry was beautiful (except for the loud Americans who were difficult to ignore--it's hard to decide who was worse--them or the loud group of Austrians the day before who we could still hear all the way across the bay during our hike!)

We've decided to skip Turkey (too little time) and head right to Greece. We're going to try to do some more Wwoofing there. We're in the process of figuring out the best way to get there. More later...
