Ok so.... for a little recap. We have sold almost everything we own and put the rest in a small storage room. I quit my job at the winery, so I think that means I am now retired. We each have a backpack and a day bag and that's all. The plan really is no plan, the next month or so with the "kids" is more or less planned, can't really travel with your own baseball team without plans. After that though is sort of whatever we feel like doing until our return flight in October. We haven't been freaking out or anything so far, so I guess having no house and travelling the world, is OK for now. We have been asked a few times how long we plan to do this, and well my answer is ...until I tip over and can't get up. I think Carrie's answer is different, but maybe not.
We arrived in Croatia this past Thursday, after 24 hours, from home. Pick your expletive here, although it was less time to get here than going to Indonesia, we were crushed. I think I made it for 2 hours after we got to the apartment in Zagreb before I started experiencing total system shutdown. I think we fell asleep at 5pm and slept for 12 hours. Zagreb what we saw of it, is a nice city, somewhat eclectic maybe, but with a nice vibe. Just a small note about Croatian.... is not pronounced the way it is spelt, I'm just saying, not trying to be judgy. There is alot of graffiti here, I don't know if that means jack, but it seemed a little curious. So it seems the major food groups in Croatia are coffee, beer and cigarettes.....another curious thing, the streets are clean, we saw street sweepers, but they don't pick up the cigarette butts, not sure why. We wandered around town for a couple of days, did touristy stuff...another thing and I don't know why, but I was suprised to see so many of my tribe in this part of the world. OK one more thing, if your dressed like your going to comic=con but your not actually going to comic=con, then you look stupid.
The big public market in Zagreb was great fun and the amount of bars and cafes is mind boggling. We figured out how to catch the tram to the bus station this morning because we couldn't figure out how to call a taxi, or flag one down for that matter. We did figure out how to get a bus to Plitvice national park, although we didn't figure out that our room we booked, wasn't actually in the park. So we decided to splurge a little and get a room here in the park. This is us so far, stumbling around in the world but slowly getting our feet under us... yup that's me , mister profundity!
Love and warm thoughts from Plitvice
