First Taste of Europe

So after arriving in Croatia and finding a place, I was joined by Mr. Justin Mile to begin our trip through eastern Europe en route to the Roskilde festival in Denmark. We met in Dubrovnik on the coast which was incredibly beautiful but too touristy, so many vacationing European families and not so many backpackers.

After a good session of catching up we made tracks up to Split which was not so different: some Roman ruins, the beautiful Adriatic sea, a tonne of elderly tourists, but it did have one point of difference which was some pretty banging nightclubs. Down by the beach was a big building filled with bars (somewhat like cockle bay) which were packed with gigantic Croatian locals and foreigners.

The highlight of our brief foray into Croatia had to be the day trip out to the island Hvar where we hired a small boat and jetted around the small islands and bays. Upon sighting a tiny island inhabited by some random goats we promptly docked in the bay and chased them around for half an hour, good clean fun.

Our visit was cut short by the desire to meet up with the Bourke st ladies Eve and Briony in Bosnia. It is great to be travelling with a mate from home, especially one as quality as Mr. Mile... plenty of good times to come.
