We decided not to go to London today. We just had a relaxing day at home. I ended up doing a lot of marking of exam papers. Beck and I talked about some of our plans for the rest of the year, before watching Conspiracy Theory and then going to bed. 12/6/2006 Colin organised a TV in the Careers library so I could watch Australia play Japan in their first World Cup game (thanks Col). It would have to be the hottest room in the world, and the Aussies also made me sweat until 6 minutes to go, then the flood [View Full Entry]

Up early to get milk and bread. Rod was also up early, as Kez and Rod are going camping for a few days. This means that I'm 'batching' it. Work went surprising well. I went to the gym with Matty who also had a big week off, so we hit the steam room. For someone who is 'batching' it I was very quiet, I just cooked dinner and then headed off to bed. 6/6/2006 Beck arrived back today from Croatia. Apparently the weather was a lot better after I left, and they went back for seafood at the same restaurant in [View Full Entry]

'Bit how ya goin' Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Split
I wasn't happy when the alarm went off. I had a quick bath, and I think I used all the hot water again! Everyone else slowly got up, and I bid them farewell. I will see Kate again soon, and I will see Ginko and Nic in Prague in three weeks. Beck walked me down and saw me off at the port. There was a lot of people sleeping on the ferry, and even though I was so tired I couldn't get to sleep. Off the ferry and I walked around Split, which seemed to have a very nice waterfront. I [View Full Entry]

Carpe Diem Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Hvar
We were up at 5.15a.m to check which port of the two our ferry was leaving from. On the ferry we all tried sleeping with varying degrees of success. When we landed at Hvar it was raining, and we were met by domati owners (I'm not sure if they are called this, they are in Greece), and even though it's not normally our thing we decided to go with one. By the time we had been walking for ten minutes, he said it would only take that long, we were beginning to have our doubts. We decided to have a look [View Full Entry]

Authentic Winery Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Korcula
We all got up around eight and had breakfast from the supplies we had left over. Looking outside the weather still looked a bit doubtful, which wasn't great as we wanted to hire bikes and ride around the island. Despite being unsure on the weather we hired the bikes anyway. Before we set off we bought our ferry tickets for Hvar Island for tomorrow morning leaving at 6 a.m. On the bikes we rode out to Lumbardo, which was a really nice way to see the island. We rode down to the beach, which was nothing special like home (there was [View Full Entry]

Freddie Mercury Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Korcula
For some reason I didn't bounce out of bed today! Forcing myself out of bed we all went downstairs for some breakfast. I grabbed some yoghurt before going back upstairs to try and get more sleep. It was a pretty slow morning, which was probably my fault because I wouldn't get out of bed. When I did get up it wasn't much fun in the streets of Dubrovnik. The weather had turned. After a perfect day yesterday it was now drizzling rain, and the streets were packed because there was at least one cruise ship in town. This forced our hand [View Full Entry]

G'day Tiger Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik
We got up early, had showers and packed. We get to see Bren and Nic today, yay! We took photos from the balcony of the Old Town. What a great place to stay, we would have liked to make better use of it, but oh well. We drove in to Troger to get some breakfast and have a look at the Old Town. It's cool how the town still operates through and around the old buildings. I was worried about the parking so we rushed a little bit, grabbed a pastry for breakfast, and then we were on the road for [View Full Entry]

I got up at nine and went downstairs to try and organise a hire car. The Croatian people we've met so far have been so helpful and friendly. They actually rang the car rental companies for me, and at first it didn't sound like we'd be in luck. Then the girl on reception rang her friend Brancko and put me on the phone and he organised a car. The trouble arranging one was because we wanted to drop the car off in Dubrovnik, and not back in Zagreb. Brancko even said he would come and pick us up, which saved us [View Full Entry]

This morning I was still tired, but I had a much better sleep. In the middle of the night a young guy came into the room at about 2a.m in the morning. I woke up again and warily watched him. He sat on the edge of his bed nodding off every now and again whilst he was sitting up. His phone was glowing in a strange manner as well. I got up and went to the toilet and when I got back he was asleep. Problem solved. I got up and had a shower early before going to get breakfast from [View Full Entry]

Had a very ordinary night's sleep. A guy got in at about 4 a.m. into our room. He sat on the edge of his bed for ages. He had woken me up so I lay there quietly warily watching him. He got up suddenly after what seemed forever and left the room. He came back soon and went straight to sleep. I got back to sleep, but broad daylight poured into the room from 5 a.m. We didn't get up until the agreed time of 8 a.m., and I went and had a shower which wasn't too bad. The other two [View Full Entry]
