*We went rafting on the Cetina and learned a new word: bomba. We feel this word should be added to everyone's lingo for use in many settings. For example, you walk into a bar and see a person you or your friends are wishing to avoid, one of you says "bomba" upon spotting the person, and both immediately take cover under the table. Bomba can also be used for securing yourself in a raft or getting down on the dance floor.
*Sometimes it's good to accept rides from strangers, especially when waiting at bus stop with 50 pounds of backpack strapped to your back and the ride is 3 Kuna cheaper than the city bus.
*Having other people do your laundry. Fantastic!
*Taking a ten hour overnight bus ride to save $$ on lodging, maybe not the best idea, but certainly better than sleeping on fistsize rocks while camping. Of note...Croatian wine takes the edge off while sleeping.
*245--number of stairs required to climb back to our lodging in Dubrovnik. Amazing views helps with toning.
*Croatian Italian food is most tasty!
*If you take the train from Vienna to Zagreb by Sovenia, you recieve 4 stamps on your passport in two train stops. Bonus breathtaking countryside!
*Sitting in the Buza Bar, gazing at the Adriatic Sea. Bliss! Simply Bliss!
*Cindy is a foot and a half shorter than the average Croatian at a dance club.
*Lauren received silver dollar sized bugbites from sleeping bag. Learned lesson about checking presence of visitors before we encounter the larger species in Australia.
*Only chips avialable are Salt and Paprika, which taste like BBQ.
Wholeheartedly recommend Croatia for anyone's travel destination! Miss everyone and will post pics as soon as possible.
