Down to Croatia for some fun in the sun...



So the internet access is a little more sketchy down here in Croatia. To get up to speed… we survived a 20+ hour journey by train to reach Split last Friday. We stayed one night, met up with Justin again, and headed out on Sunday for the island of Hvar. Although we were pretty exhausted after the long train ride, we still made it out for a while at the bars/clubs in Split. They have this complex on the beachfront that has around 6 or 7 bars/clubs. It was a very cool spot and a lot of fun with many, many beautiful babies. I’ll try to add some pics of this place when we get back there later next week.
Now we are here on Hvar and this place is amazing. It’s really hot out, but the breeze off the ocean front, a constant liter of water in hand, and the frequent stops at the cafes for an ice cold beer make it doable. This place is like the ultimate vacation spot for the Euros, especially for those “ballers” that like to pull their ginormous yacht in for the evening. I’ve never seen such huge and extravagant yachts, and the back them in to dock right outside the biggest hotspot in town. When we saw this one huge and ridiculously expensive looking yacht, the first thing out of Josh’s mouth was… “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” And then we saw the name of the boat… “Joke”. (I’ve sure those muther F’ers named it just for that reason) We hit the beach during the day and got a little red, so we’re going to take a day off from the sun tomorrow and check out the castle. We had to part ways with Justin as he was headed back to Prague to finish his trip. Justin went up to the castle today, and for the record, he did not take the well beaten path to the front door and buy a ticket. He scaled the walls and stormed the castle! (…seriously!) He looked like had been through quite a battle by the time he met us back at the hotel. I guess the castle wasn’t build to keep out giant, albino, yetis (in other words, an albino Chewbacca)?! His advice to us… “stay on the trail”.
