Croatia - post #1

Hello from Croatia!

Adrienn and I arrived off the night train in Zagreb on June 2. We were one day behind schedule after a time mix-up resulting in us missing our train on May 31, oops! It worked out alright though, and we had time to sort out a few more things before taking the train the net day.

We're in Zadar right now, the layout of the city is really cool, I like how the old town is all out on a little peninsula. We had a nice picnic lunch on the accordion steps, and spent a good while pondering how they work, and wondering if the sound is actually acoustically produced from the waves. Might have to hit up Wikipedia.

This morning I had a pleasant suprise of discovering that my backpack was infested with ants. This may have been related to a pesto leak that occurred the day before, haha, it was actually kind of nice to have the smell of pesto following me around though. Adrienn helped me rid my stuff of the ant plague, and I gave everything a good clean and repacked all my food in bags, haha.

We went to the waterfall park yesterday, wowwwwwwwww!!!! It was totally thrilling to stand under the huge one, especially since we thought we had already seen the largest one until we turned the final corner. The mist was spraying down all over us, it was cool. Unfortunately, the experience of the park was somewhat hindered by the fact that is was pouring rain and we were soaked. On the way up, the bus driver told us there was a marathon so he had to drop us off down the road. We trekked through the rain through puddles with all our gear to the entrance, and were wet up to our thighs already. Really, there would have been no hope unless we had rain boots, instead of small sneakers, oh well. It was still a nice walk, but we ended up only doing the lower falls since by the end we were freezing.

Tonight we are headed to Split, where we plan to spend a few days and check out some of the surrounding area and islands. I'll try to post again soon!
