Now, the bus journey. It was fairly epic. We figured out we could get the bus from the stop pretty much right outside our apartment; not bad. So it got in and there were plenty of seats to spare. Then we got into Pula and a few more people got on but not many. Things were looking good. We'd be travelling through the night and we may actually be able to get some sleep on this bus. Well, about an hour or so along the road we stopped at another big station an...

Today I have a decent excuse for the lack of updates on the blog. We just can't get a decent net connection. Haven't done for about a week now. So I gotta remember where I left off last. Pula I believe. Up to Rovinj then. It's a small city just a short way north of Pula. However, through a slight bit of bad planning we still managed to make an entire day of getting to our new apartment. First we had to get into Pula centre. I thought my spine-ridden ...

Pula seems very far away from anywhere of any note. I think that's mainly to do with the train journey we endured on the way in. As I mentioned in the Zagreb post we had to wake up at 5 in the morning. A time which before this day existed only in fiction (horror fiction!). But still, the sun had arrived even before that and it was fairly light when we made our way to the station. We sat on a train for a while, sleeping fitfully and then getting to a point wh...

Quick Zagreb post. It's quite a nice city. In the old part at least. The modern part is fairly standard. Just a capital city with people walking around, shopping and going to schools and all that malarky. We had a good walk around. Its supposed to be a city of museums, but none of the ones we saw were really all that inspiring so we didn't even bother paying for entry. The old city is very pretty. But small. One odd thing about this city is that it appea...

Its been quite a while now since I updated. We've been chilling out quite a lot recently. Not really filling our days with huge amounts of running around or looking for places to eat. So you'd think I'd have more time to tippety-tap on here. But I've felt less inclined to do so for some odd reason. Guess I'm just not feeling quite so rushed. Getting complacent. Bad habit to get into. So I gotta talk about Keszthely. It wasn't too long to get there from B...
