Split, an Island, and a taste of Dubrovnik

The bus I caught from the waterfalls ended up being a regional slow-moving one. Its route took it down rural roads and through small villages. The up side of which was an exceptional view of the Croatian countryside. The downside of which was an added hour plus to the bus ride. After four hours…

Croatia: Zagreb & the Lakes and Waterfalls of Plitvicjka Jezera

Castles, Lakes, Oktoberfest & Fall

All right, I finally figured out what a Czech Kruna is worth, managed to get some food, and have some semblance of an idea what I'm doing. That said, back to it: Luckily Oktoberfest ended at 11 pm as I mentioned in t…

Tuesday - Woke up feeling a cold coming on. No fun. As a result I'm home a bit early 10:00ish and taking it easy tonight. Hopefully sleep, water, etc. will kick it before it takes hold. I started the day off by goi…
