... hill, I stumbled across a band warming up. It seems that I have developed a nose for sniffing out free live music. I got myself an imported Budvar and checked out a half hour or so of the show. The band was terrible, but entertaining. They did one song that was kind of a mash up of different Nirvana tunes, with Croatian lyrics, and violin and accordion. Also there was a crazy old man dancing around, no ...

... times better than the **** you get in Australia that's always so salty. This was perfect!<br><br> <br><br>After breakfast we went for a walk up the hill near Zoran's place. They've actually got two vineyards there. Basically, lots of people from the city or nearby have plots of land up on the hill. Zoran lives nearby so he doesn't need any house or hut there but most (all?) of the city people have ...

... does the redness come from? Are these hermaphrodites or something like that? Do I get to manipulate my orange trees' sexuality? It's sounding more like Thailand all the time. Of course even sinsemilla has a seed or two of course, and in a half kilo so far I've found three. This orchard may be a slow starter. I also figure out that the redder the better, or at least, sweeter. Darko Rundek has a song called 'Sinsemiglia' which ...

... days and there was unfortunately heeps (side note - Aussies say this ALL the time and I get such a kick out of it, and now I am saying it...) of graffiti as well I stopped by the botanical garden, but it turned out it was only for about 10 minutes since it closed at 2:30 in the afternoon and they kicked everyone out 15 minutes before that. Oh well. Like any proper European town they have a huge cathedral, which like most I seem to have seen, is currently covered with ...

... dream about the perfect Disney World getaway. However, if you figure on airfare costs, the expenses of a fancy hotel and all the cash you will fork out on food and trinkets, this will add up to a heck of a lot of money.... More info on : Consider All Inclusive Vacation Packages

... that frame the city center. It's an impressive place. One thing that amuses me greatly is that the cathedral of Split is a building that was originally Diocletian's mausoleum. Diocletian isn't there anymore. The relics of several saints who were martyred under his reign are. Circular poetic justice if I ever saw it. From Split I went to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is easily ...

... but more useful wad of Euros. In a way I guess it is fair, considering that we inadvertantly got the better of one Irishman, that they get their own back. No time to ponder on this though, as our train is only moments away from pulling out. Still carrying our backpacks, we charge on board the Belgrade-bound train and desperately plow our way through the carriages. There is no small talk, no "how are yous" or other pleasantries. We burst into each carriage ...

... area of the Adriatic is incredibly clean so fish from here are in great demand for their flavor and of course Italy is polluting the sea but since the current traveled up by Croatia before bending and going down Italy it wasn't affecting the fish too much). He was a fountain of knowledge historical, cultural, and had many observations to make. Some seven hours later we did arrive. Tomorrow we take the train to Ljublijana, Slovenia.

... through an 8KM tunnel to enter Slovenia earlier today to see the extent to which the width of a mountain can change the human elements in a landscape. Like Austria, Slovenia is a very attractive country to gaze upon through Tonka's windows, not withstanding the predominance of Soviet era housing blocks over wooden Heidi houses in the settlements we passed. However, our only proper ...
