VEEA (Volcano Enforced European Adventure): 9 Countries in 40 hours. 19th - 21st April 2010 We woke up for our final (scheduled) morning in Dubrovnik and the first thing we did was switched on CNN. It was not looking good. All the airspace over UK and Europe, which was supposed to be opening at 6am, was now no longer opening until at least 1 that afternoon. Our Easyjet flight back to London was the return leg, of a flight that left London around 3, so if ...

Dubrovnik 16th - 18th April 2010 We were up super early to catch the only bus of the day from Korcula to Dubrovnik (No ferries run in the off season). The bus left at 6.45am, and first had a 15 minute ferry crossing over to the mainland. What I saw from when I was awake was beautiful mountains and ocean scenery, but I regret to say that I did snooze for most of the journey. We arrived into Dubrovnik around 10am and decided to walk from the bus station ...

Korcula 14th - 15th April 2010 We arrived into Vela Luka (Small town on the other side of the island of Korcula) around 4, and then it was an hour on the bus to go to other side of island (To Korcula Town). We had very vague directions on how to get to the hostel, and ended up circling main tower before some woman stopped us and asked if we were looking for her place - we were. We got settled in the room before heading out in search of somewhere to ea...

Hvar 12th - 14th April 2010 We arrived into Hvar around 3pm and was met by the guy from apartment at the port. He drove us up to the apartment (which was good because it meant we didn't have to walk in the rain) and we were told that we were their first guests of the year. It was a massive apartment with a full kitchen and dining room, as well as two terrace balconies; one of which had a beautiful view of the sea. After dropping our bags and getting se...

Split 9th - 12th April 2010 Knowing that we had a long bus trip ahead of us, and we weren't sure if there would be anywhere to get lunch along the way, we made our way to the hotel buffet breakfast with a plan. Dan and I ate up good at the buffet. I think I had 2 ham and cheese rolls, a big bowl of cereal with stewed fruit and yoghurt, 2 hard-boiled eggs and about 4 mini hot dogs. Yep, that's how you do breakfast and lunch in one. I was a bit concerne...
