Roadtrip Croatia

Here I am. Here we are, on a roadtrip of epic proportions … or rather, as much as you can pack into ten days.

This is the main event of the summer, the reason I borrowed @smotko‘s car. The plan is to make it down to Dubrovnik – some 600km away from home – visit Bruce Lee‘s statue in Mostar, then go visit some Croatian islands for a few days of proper lounging around the beach like a pair of cows.

Yesterday at ungodly hours in the morning the expedition was launched. So far the journey’s included:

hoards of cow-eyed tourists with their brain shut off, trying to take the single best picture of Plitvice Lakes … no idea why they bothered, of course ours are going to be best.
discovering Croatia is actually beautiful – but only inland Dalmatia, the flatland on the way to EXIT was weird and the coast is full of lazy cowstourists
a scary old house without working electricity
sleeping on the balcony of said house … and later inside, with all the ghosts keeping us company
hydroelectric power plant inside a fucking mountain
one of the best looking longboarding roads ever … with maaaaaaybe just a bit too much traffic … maybe, we’ll see, I might have to sneak out while @ponywithhiccups isn’t looking
huge wind tourbines! very huge!
getting to know the interior of Car, very very well
