Sweating Buckets in Croatia!

Hey Everyone! I have to admit I've been very neglegent on my blog. Well where do I begin? Since the last time I wrote I have finished up Tauernhof and am now sitting in a hot internet cafe, with some really funky chairs I might add, in Split, Croatia! I can't believe how quickly Tauernhof came and went, and how much I accomplished in the time in between. I'm so glad to have gone there, I loved it out in the mountains and the people were awesome! On the second last weekend out there a group of us got up really early, 3:30 am, to hike up a mountain to catch the sunrise. Wow, it was amazing. The hike up was intense, straight uphill for 45 minutes on an empty stomach and half asleep, it was a challenge to say the least. It never fails that when I go hiking it always makes me realize how truly out of shape I am. I'm used to running on nothing but flatness in the Prairies so adding an uphill was a change of pace. The hike was totally worth it though, the sunrise was beautiful! It was definately a highlight of my time out there. Just on the other side of the mountain we climbed up was a lake called Mirror Lake. It's really small but when it's calm it reflects the Dachstein peaks. It was sooo worth it!

It was kind of sad to leave Tauernhof but I was ready for the next phase of my trip. I met up with Laura in Munich and from there we flew to Dubruvnik. It was a complete change in scenery, going from the mountains to humid tropical beaches ! Not too bad. We've spent a fair amount of time on the beach working on our tans because it's just too hot to do anything else without sweating like crazy. We did some touring around as well, Dubruvnik how an Old Town that we checked out. We walked on the wall that surrounds it and got some sweet pics from the views. After that we stopped into one of the tiny Italian restaurants down a little alley in the Old Town for some Pizza. We ordered a Pizza for 2 and decided to share it. When it arrived it was the biggest Pizza ever, and there was no way we could finish that thing off ourselves. Luckily we were able to take it with us for later. It was good Pizza though! After 3 days in Dubruvnik we took the bus over to Split! We're just staying here 1 night and moving on to Bol where we have a nice little apartment for a week! I'm pumped just to sit on the beach and relax and get in some good vacation time. I'm going to enjoy it while I can because the relaxation ends when I get home and start the job search!

That's about all I have for y'all today. I can't seem to get the pics on here at the moment, this computer is frustrating me!! I hope to get them up as soon as possible, sorry!

I hope everyone is doing well and I will be seeing you in a few weeks ! Ciao :o)
