Croatia, Day 2

Unfortunately for you but fortunately for me, there were no weird BNBCS incidents on the second day. We woke up bright and early to catch the boat where we hopped the islands of Croatia! The Adriatic is really pretty, but a little foggy and more stone-y than green plants-y.

The clouds were SO fluffy though. I wanted to reach up, grab a chunk, and take a bite of it.

Then we arrived at one of the islands to go swimming in its salt lake that it had in the middle! It was really really salty--I'm pretty sure no one would be able to drown in it.


I didn't take pictures of this, but ALL MEN WEAR SPEEDOS. No joke. I definitely saw more that weekend than I wanted to see ever. Too many men bending over wearing nothing but speedos. ahhhhhfkdjfklsfjsklfsd I mean it's okay if they just don't bend over. Then it's like AH. BEND AT YOUR KNEES, NOT AT YOUR WAIST, PLEASE.

And all women wear bikinis! In America, ladies have a point where they feel like they shouldn't be wearing bikinis whether it be because of age or body shape. These European ladies don't feel any shame with their bodies at all! Kudos for them. I don't think I saw a single one piece bathing suit, and there were ladies of all sizes an shapes. Triangle, diamond, circle, you name it.

There were donkeys on the island too!! There were signs that said not to get near them, but I like living my life on the edge. Muahahaha

When we got onto the boat, we had the fantastic idea to play flip cup with the free wine they gave us... so classy haha It definitely made us noticed as the Loud Americans. Casey found a group of Hungarians and decided that we HAD to drink with them because she's half Hungarian. Oh what silliness comes from alcohol haha.

Cheers!

I had a huge craving for that ice cream all day, so as soon as we got off the boat, we jetted off to the ice cream store. I got Kinder (again) and Mozart (chocolate with pistachiofkldjfkldsjfdskfjdsfklsd). And then we decided two scoops weren't enough (I love how alcohol also makes us forget about waistlines), so we got a third scoop. I got cherry chocolate. SO GOOD. I am never going to forget that ice cream.

Us enjoying our ice cream (Casey especially) after Brendan got sick on those steps ahahahah

Juls, Lauren, April, and I decided to stick around Zadar after the drunkies went home, and I'm so glad I did! I think that evening was my favorite part of the whole trip. We explored, and dusk in Croatia is beautiful.

This was one of the churches. I think Zadar is one of the oldest cities in Croatia.

So so pretty. And they had a water organ that was amazing--basically, there was an organ embedded in the sidewalk of the beach, and every time the waves crashed over different pipes, there would be different tones. It was so beautiful. I'm pretty sure I could have stayed there all night! We almost got lullabied to sleep.

Next to the water organ was a big circle on the group that had lights underneath it that corresponded to the movement of the waves, so lights would sweep on and off underneath our feet.

Cool huh? I like how Zadar was so in tune with nature.

The next morning we left bright and early to get back into Brussels. We had a layover in Oslo, Norway, so we hurried and went outside to take some pictures with the sign that said "Oslo" so we can say that we've been in Norway. Yes!
Roomie and I super happy to be in 40 degree weather after being in the 90s in Croatia. Sigh.

And let me leave you with the happy news that I am in a band. We started in Croatia, and I just have to say that our album cover is pretty sweet. Check it out man!

Stay posted and look for our next album cover with the pyramids in Egypt!
