Austria, Slovenia, Croatia

hi all

if your bored of me droaning on then just delete this... For those of you missing us then this is the latest installation

Again pics are on facebook!

Well Vienna was fun if we didnt tell you that all ready? we spent alot of time wandering round and seeing the sites, Schonbrunn palace is pretty amazing! Vienna obviously was geared up for the footy and so some of the things to see there were closed but we did get to watch a couple of games in Fanzone.... the atmosphere was great (probably cos the english fans werent there to cause trouble)

We (under angelas influence!) hopped on the tube and buses with out paying... they really do seem unwilling to take your money unless we just didnt get the system)

we also had a ride around some of the suburbs of vienna as I just jumped onto the first bus that came

The state opera was amazing we saw verdi s scilliani which was quite dark but for 2 pounds each (we were in the cheap standing seats) it was a great experience and we had champagne and canopays!! how posh am I!

after Vienna it was on to Ljubjana in Slovenia..... and it rained.... quite a lot!!

On the saturday we were going to spend the day looking around and seeing the sites and after getting soaked going to the castle we went to drown our sorrows and spent the afternoon drinking white wine at a pound a glass in the main square over the river..... what were we supposed to do!!??? so saturday became an interesting day

On the Sunday we paid for a trip to mountain bike around lake bled and 'row' to the island in the middle in the afternoon. We should have guessed that by rowing in slovenia they meant whitewater raft..... Angelas face was a picture!! and fortunately they only told us just before we did it so there was no time for nerves and it was great and she loved it so I think I might get her ski diving before we go home! oh and the instructor also told us we were on a quiet part of the river and so to take our feet out of the holds..... at which point he charge for me and pushed me over the side... I tried to take him with me but couldnt get a grip! he made up for it though as he made a stop at his secret bar on the river. We met a nice aussie bloke and a couple of swedish girls

we then got a long train ride to croatia and straight to pula where we met a couple of americans who were nice... we stayed at a youth hostel and had our own beach which was pretty amazing although this is where I got bit over a hundred times by mozzies!!

We then went to zadar which was a really nice town which didnt seem to have been hit by tourists really.... we only went here as it was our only way of making it to split

there is a tidal barrier here which is called the sea organ and makes the appropriate noise as the sea moves in and out! Its very relaxing and we whiled away an afternoon or two sunbathing here and watching the croatian sailing team!

after zadar we had saturday night it split and it was cocktail night!! we decided to stay only one night so we could get to here....Hvar which is amazing! really picturesque! very exclusive by the boats in the harbour and it costs us 20 pounds a night for an apartment with a balcony, air con and our own shower... we bumped into a man off our ferry and decided to take a gamble on one of his rooms which worked out

we went to a bar last night with amazing boats in the marina and sat a table which we were informed was reserved. Two guys came and sat next to us and for the 2 of them ordered a bottle of moet as you... we fit in well!!

i think thats about it for now

sorry for boring you and see ya soon!
