Croatia

Zagreb
Pretty boring place really, we weren’t there on a weekend so there wasn’t much happening. We just walked around and saw the old town and things. We did however start a very important thing – called backpacker master chef. To spice up trying not to spend money we all decided on a budget each; in this case it was 3E or 21 Kuna. The aim of the game is to get the nicest meal for this price, the only rule is that if you spend over the money you get disqualified. Andy got disqualified. We then put the pictures on facebook and got people to vote haha.
After two nights we caught a train to Split and a bus from there to Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik.
My favourite place; probably one of my favourites in the whole world. It was so beautiful and majestic. Right on the coast and the old town centre was within castle walls. Another bonus was that it actually worked out cheaper for the three of us to get an apartment; so we were living the high life!
Andy had his birthday while we were there. We went to the supermarket and bought three little cakes, candles and party hats and had a little party in the park. Then off to the beach.. I probably should have worn sunscreen. The beach was beautiful; the water was such a nice colour!! I hadn’t seen salt water in so long, it was amazing.
That night to continue the fest of Andy’s birthday we went out for a beer, which turned in to three litres of death. What do you get when you mix tequila, rum, gin, vodka and triple sec in a three metre tube? Death. It tasted so strong! So I asked the waitress how many shots were actually in it.. She just shrugged and did a pouring motion. Luckily we met some English guys and they helped us by having a glass each. But they then bought another cocktail. This one however, was delicious – heaven.
Lucky we had a fry up for breakfast, otherwise we would not have survived the bus back to Split and then over night train to Beograd (Belgrade).
