Tuesday-July7th-Dubrovinick

This may have been my favorite day out of the trip. We put our swimsuits under our clothes when we got off the boat and walked around the city. Boy was it warm. After we went to a couple of cliff lookouts the group split up. Dane, Kelly and I walked around the top of the city walls and were so hot sat and had icees. Then we jumped into the sea and went back to the boat to changed for the evening. We found a dinner place and then went out to a couple of clubs. We got back to the boat pretty late, but people on our boat got back even later and woke everyone up. Oh well, still my favorite day.

Monday-July 6th-Korchula

This was the prettiest island yet. The island was set up like a fishbone. Very cute! It reminded me a bit of Mkynonos, Greece with the cobble streets. Rumor has it that Marco Polo was born here so there was Marco Polo stuff all around. After we went to bed around 3 or 4 in the morning there was a brawl on one of the other boats (everyone docks very close to one another) and there was 15 Croatian men fighting on our boat. The Croatian police were called and glass bottles were shattered into our rooms because we all slept with the windows open.The power was cut off from all our boats. A couple of us earlier that night were talking about pirates and stuff like that so I thought it was pirates or someone attacking us. Everything was shouted it Croatian so I have no idea what they were fighting about. We all survived and had good stories to tell the next morning.

Sunday July 5th -Hvar

Today we woke up, ate breaksfast and then got our simsuits on to take a dip. We had to stay on the boat the majority of the day because Hvar is a very popular place and we couldn't dock until 4:30 or so. When we got off the island you could tell that rich people came here. Hvar is known as the party island and party it was. We showered and went out to dinner and drinks after. Going to bed at 2:00 seemed more like 11:00 because there was so many people around. This is the one place I feel we didn't get enough time at. I would love to go back.

Saturday July 4th-Milna

I didn't sleep a wink last night and had severe jet-lag. I threw up a couple of times and was laying on the floor trying to recover because I had to get on the boat at 12:00. Fortunately the Michigan girls were with me and they helped me through it.
As soon as I got up and walking though I felt alot better. We met our crew and everybody and set out for Milna. The ship resembled a small pirate's ship and we got to get out and swim in the Adriantic Sea in the afternoon. This made me feel A LOT better. We got off the boat in the afternoon and looked around. There wasn't a lot to see, we showered and ate dinner and went to bed pretty early.

Friday July 3rd-Split

Today most of my day was spent in the airports. I got to Split around 5:30 to find a warm rainstorm. I got to my hostel, which looked more like a side ally and then set off to explore the town some. The town was situated into city walls and was very cute. I met 3 girls in the hostel from Michigan that were going to be on my ship and then tried to go to sleep early because I was very tired.

Thursday July 2nd

Planes, Planes Planes...
On the first day of my journey it took 24 hours of travel to get to Split my final destination. I first flew to Washington D.C, then to Vienna, Austria where they don't have a very good airport and finally to Split, Croatia. For the most part the flights were non-eventful. I got to watch I Love You Man, a great movie, get a little sleep and basically sat for the duration of my three flights.

Plutos Lunch

There was a time where I didn't like Plutos very much. People would say, "Let's go out to dinner" and I would respond with "Sure just as long as it's anywhere, but Plutos or Amadillo Willys." The first time I went to Plutos many years ago I hadn't discovered that I like salad. Now I actually like cesar salad so I like Plutos restaurant. In fact I was the one to suggest it to Anel when we were planning on meeting for lunch. It was a good lunch and great to catch up with what we've been up to over the last month or so.
