Rijeka down to Dubrovnik
We traveled on a boat from Rijeka to Split. Jasna was kind enough to drop us off, I m in love with her, she is so beautiful, she looks like a model! Anyway on boad the ship we just slept in a little couchette they are just little cots, it was a four person room but we had to to ourselves. The boat is huge, Matt says cruise ships would dwarf it though. We bought a bottle of wine for about 4 bucks on shore and drank it on the boat. It moved fairly slowly, I think it takes about 8 or 10 hrs to get to split so after we drank the bottle and talked we went to sleep. The boat boarded at eight and docked at Split at about 6AM. Then we hopped on a bus bound for Dubrovnik. This takes about 5 hrs and is nauseting. The boat is fine, but Crotian terrin is very rocky so we just bounced around and felt like barfing. Once in Dubrovnik, we got ripped off by a cab driver and found our hostel. You have to walk up SO MANYSTEPS EVERWHERE It is the city of rocks, cats and steps. nyway our hostel is more like a hotel, it is so nice, beautiful view, not close to many things but it is peaceful. We went to the new part of town this day, grocery shopped and tried to find the beach. Of course we got lost and did eventully find the beach, this is after we pretty much scaled cliffs and bouldered around Croatia. It is kind of hard to find the beach, and it is really rocky so itćs not like easy to lay on. The water is such a beaitufl color though. Matt jumped off a 50 foot cliff, it was so huge and I was nervous but he did it. The water is kind of cold. He says it was fun and the water was kind of cold, but it is really clear and jumping was worth it! We canćt ever find a stupid place to eat around here, it is impossible! Yesterday we went into the old city, Grad, and it is very beautiful. We walked Dubrovnikćs old wlls, and since it appears I will never get pics up you should just google dubrovnik and the old city it is insane. The town is built on a cliff so you see the sea right next to it. The city is reallz expensive though. The weater was insane yesterday, pretty uch a torential downpour and lightning and then it stopped and so we went to the banje beach then it stormed again like cats and dogs so we went to a cafe and then we blogged and hung out with this croatian guy and ate hamburgers. That is a really abrdged version of what we did but no matter what I write i could never explain the colors of the sea or the rocks or anything. Tody we have to to run some errands but we are attempting the beach today, possibly the island of Lokrum tomorrow and then we are heading to Makarska or Split Sat and Island Hvar until this thursday. Hopefully the weaterh will be nice. Not sure when wećll blog again! Love to all, wish you could see the beauty of Hvratska too!
