Split photos here:<br> http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 59738&amp;id=613699523&amp;l=b42d256b69 <br><br><br>Caught bus from Plitvice Jezera to Split and got in about 7pm. Found Situs Hostel no problem (once we actually followed the instructions properly) and it's a really cool, clean, nice small hostel. Peter was really helpful in pointing out things to do and see and eat. Peter's mum was awesome too making us coffee in the ...

... it was the perfect time to be sick. We just watched movies on his laptop, American shows on the TV with 2 channels (Friends, Xena Warrior Princess&#8230;), cooked, and played Chess on our mini travel set. Overall, it was nice to relax but I know I started feeling a little bored. <br><br>Saturday came around and the storm was clearing (only a little bit of rain and clouds that morning). We then hopped on a ferry to another island, called Korcula.

After we left the park, the drive down to where we are now was spectacular, although a bit different than I pictured Croatia to be-it is a lot rockier and a bit more like what we thought Greece would be like. Our second campsite was just before the town of Zadar in a town called Nin; we pulled in and this funny little man came up to us-there was no way we could say no to his smiling face even if the campsite was horrible! Luckily ...

... mmm. We pulled into the port in Bol and then set off to check out the town. A few of us headed up to the monastery, stopping for gelati and pictures along the way. Had a look around the churchyard before heading back to the beach via all the winding side streets. Grabbed my bathing suit along the way and went for the water again as soon as we got to the beach. The sun ...

... push me into the water and he kept excitingly saying something in Croatian, Andrea quickly translated that he was saying "again". I complied and we had a great day. Later that evening Boris was going to lead Christy and I and a German woman to a restaurant. In the meantime we decided to check out a local festival that was starting at six. We arrived at the wharf and saw rows of tables on the waterfront laden with food of all kinds. Boris saw one of his old students and I ...

... doctor, pharmacy, news stand, tourist information, and of course street cafes. All of Europe is passing the same cough back and forth. We are on our second round and a venture into the doctor's office didn't impress us. Then we found out that the spotless pharmacy can dispense antibiotics without prescriptions so we self medicated and bought some for India. Very cheap. Rick also got a haircut. A parrot sat on the barber's arm the whole time, flapping up ...

... right outside! We met some fellow canadians from Manitoba, and I really really wish I could get more into that but really shouldnt, so I won't. You folks are missing out on some good stories though, believe you me. Anywho, Bol turned out to be a great great place so we never actually made it to any other island, and stayed there for about three nights. It was good times through and through, but it was time to move onto Zagreb. What would happen next...who knows?

... it all, also time i do not have as the football match is about to start... speaking of which.. i hope everyone watch Italia win again!! Totti is a hero! Alright let me just put out in point form what has happened in the past couple days... so vodka + razors = no more hair.. sorry dan, my euro band dreams are gone! haha.. and ahh ya chris is leaving now so im done.. anywho i'll try to fill in everything sometime soon... till we meet again peace!

... packed, so instead we did it on the Island of Korcula. We must have ridden over 8 hours and covered 300kms - boy was our bums sore! Korcula has an amazing variety of landscapes from ridding up stepp rocky hills to going into vineyard full valleys and of course, the crystal clear waters which are divine to swim in. We stoped at a little family run cafe in the hills and had some traditional ...

... people. The lakes area was yet another gorgeous site.....it seemed as the land keep cascading down as there was one waterfall after another and the water was so clear you could take a photo of the fish swimming in it.....of course I did! One down side of this place was that it was crawling with tourists and when trying to catch a boat across some of the lakes it was a full on fight to get on. Those Germans have no shame!! And unfortunately we didn't have enough time there as we had ...
