Evening fam and fwiends!
A little mid-Croatia catch up for those curious on our adventures. We arrived in Croatia via ferry.. Have I already said that in the last blog? ah well, we slept like babies and it was splendid, blah blah blah..wake up = CROATIA! Our first stop was the amazing Dubrovnik Aka kingslanding For all of you G.O.T'ers. The old town is completely surrounded by a 1.5km wall, and inside lays marble streets and marble houses that completely blind you, and give you a thumping headache if you don't wear a hat and sunnies! when you walk through it you feel like you've gone back in time.... To game of thrones... But in fact, this whole town was 2/3 destroyed only 24 years ago when the yugoslavians bombed the shit out of it. it's incredible.. And shows no signs of the attack Except for all of the brand new bright orange roofs, and a few bomb shell holes in the church that survived the attack. You have to see it for yourselves.. but if you have no plans to come here, which you should have, then you can just peep at my photos. as usual, we ate good food, found a super dooper amazing lolly store, sat on the pebbly beaches and drank beers on the cliff bar overlooking the ocean. Sounds good, hey!
From dubrovnik, we joined our Sail Croatia crew and jumped onto the 'refuggee boat' aka the shittest boat of all the yachts setting sail that week.. But it didn't matter, we had the best people! We island hopped for the next 7 days, slept the mornings away, jumped off the boat in the arvos for a swim spot in the middle of the ocean, then docked in the port for the night for an evening of alcohol.. Bars..and clubs. You know your getting old, when your boat leader comes on And tells you the plan that you will be going to the cool club that all the celebs go to, at 2am, and you almost have a heart attack. Who goes out at that time, I'm in bed by 9 normally. So it was a slight adjustment to keep up with the 20 year olds.. But we made it out every night. And as a result, Tom and I are both sick and recovering on an island, with no plan to drink.. Or club... Again. in between the alcohol and hangovers, we visited the islands of Korcula, Hvar, Mljet and the mainland of Makarska and Split. It was a good week, but like I said, we've been left sick and vegie loading every night.
once we got off the boat, we ran to our ferry and said TAKE US AWAY FROM THE SHIT BOAT AND GET US SOME AIRCON AND BEACH TIME ASAP. which takes us to Brâc (pronounced Brach). We chose a sexy little island just off Split, to recover from the week of Sail. Staying in a guesthouse of a Croatian couple, who just gave us 2 shots of home made Grappa to get rid of our germs.. It almost killed me.. Or at least stripped my throat and stomach raw of any life it once had (Does that even make sense, my brain is filled with snot..and grappa). We've spent our mornings eating eggs for brekky, planning our last month of the trip (how damn crazy is that?!?!?) and then our afternoons are spent sitting on the beach. And that's it!
Croatia is super beautiful and we're looking forward to our next 2 weeks of exploring it some more. we're heading back to Split tomorrow for a couple nights before we start to venture up north, to visit the amazing national parks (Krka and Plitvice...google it..be jealous). The last 6 weeks are looking pretty hectic, we meet up with Toms friend Seb and his girlfriend Jess, who we are travelling with for the rest of the trip, covering another 6 countries before we head home. I'll try to keep you all up to date, but if the blog lacks, we'll see you all in 46 days!!!!
HAPPY TUESDAY (or is it wednesday? I don't even know)
Bec and Tom
