Saturday the 16
th 

Flew to Italy tonight with our flight arriving very late at night. Finally got to the hotel after our bus and taxi ride. Walked in and WHOOPS the guy had given our room away... Luckily there was a room available just around the corner and the hotel guy was friendly enough so we forgave him! 

Sunday 17th 

Toured around Milan, such a beautiful city, people weren't much chop though... being new to the whole travelling thing - Jess and I got scammed TWICE in a matter of about 20 minutes! Scam number 1 - Walked up the stairs from the underground and 2 guys where like "Chow Bella, would you like bracelet," No thank you... "no have have" *2 big guys grabbed our wrists and tied a bracelet on there* "5 Euro" WHAAAAAT?!?! 20 minutes late Scam number 2 another guy walked up to us grabbed my wrist put corn in it and said "feed birds" 5 minutes passed, "ok 50 Euro" WHAAAAAT?!?! Jess puts on her angry Voice! "We didn't even want this..."   Live and Learn though right :/ 

Monday 18th

Went back to Milan City Centre today, went into the Duomo and on top beauitufl veiw of the city up there... Went for a massive walk found an awesome park and an equally awesome bar that had cocktails with tappas sort of things! 

Heading back to the train to go home:
Karmyn: Jess have you noticed those two guys following us for the last ten minutes
Jess: No
Karmyn & Jess start to walk faster
Karmyn: Jess they are still following us and they are walking faster now to
Jess: I've noticed as well 

Karmyn and Jess turn a corner and leg it. They find a place where there is BULK people and sit down. 

Karmyn: Jess those guys are walking towards us
Jess: Karmyn I'm nervous
2 guys start to talk to both Karmyn and Jess in broken English 
Guy #1: Hello, why you both walking so fast? 
Guy #2: Where are you staying?
Karmyn: to be honest I actually don't know
Jess: Anyway we have to go meet friends for dinner
(Good thinking Jess, lucky one of us are clever)
Guy #1: Dinner with us?
Karmyn & Jess: NO
Jess: Anyway got to go meet our friends now, BYE

Karmyn and Jess walk away as soon as the guys are out of sight Karmyn and Jess PIN IT to the underground station and get on the train - SAFE AT LAST

Sleeping at Lutton Airport
We woke up in the airport at 5pm this morning and went and changed money as well as printed out our tickets to get onto the plane.  
We flew from Lutton airport in London at 6am and arrived in Croatia at 9.30am. We went straight to our hostel and unpacked our bags. Today we sent half of our clothes back home as we had too many to carry around with us as we are now travelling and not working anymore. We went to the post office or POSTA in Croatian and sent some of our stuff home which cost us $234. The people in Croatia aren’t very nice and not helpful at all. At the post office there was a guy from Perth who was really nice who was originally from there. The language here is so intense when they speak it sounds like they are yelling or getting up each other! Jess and I were so tired we decided to get a drink and chips and go straight back to the hostel where we watched Private Practice and ate a box of cornflakes for 7 hours!


Thursday 7th July 2011
Had an awesome sleep last night… the best Jess and I have had since being here! It must have been catching up with us. We slept until 10.30am and laid around for a while figuring out our budget and where we wanted to go next. We got ready and walked around to the Internet café were we spent 3 hours booking flights for our next 3 destinations. After Croatia we are heading to Italy (Milan) and staying at a hostel for a week, then Flying from Milan to London and staying in London for a week then from London to Ireland were we will stay for a while in a hostel there and maybe pick up some work as Jess is freaking out that I am not going to have enough money!!!
We caught the bus into Split Centre and had lunch and looked around. It is absolutely beautiful there and the water is amazing! The scenery around Croatia is beautiful the Mountains one way and the water the other.    

Friday 8th July 2011
We woke up late again today got into out togs and headed to the beach. On the way to the beach we stopped in at the internet Café and were on Facebook and searching for jobs for 3 hours. We booked a walking tour in Italy for Thursday the 21st which goes for 3 hours. After that we went to the beach and went for a swim. We searched for a restaurant to eat at and we finally found one. It cost us 134 Kuna for 2 drinks, bread, Spaghetti Bolognese, Pizza, Fries, crepe and chocolate and ice cream which is approximately $26... Winning!

Saturday 9th July

Our room for the next 6 days
The "Novi Dan"
Jess and I woke up today so we could get on our boat to Sail Croatia with Top Deck. Our boat was called the ‘Novi Dan.’ After walking the port for probably about 20 minutes we finally found the people who signed us in and showed us where we were to wait to get on our boat. We were waiting there with about 15 other girls… this was going to be an awesome week (bitch fights haha) We finally were allowed to board our boat and as it was the third boat from the edge we had to walk across three boats with MASSIVE suitcases! We got introduced to our tour leader and the crew on our boat. Bo was our tour leader from Australia. We got introduced to the people we would be spending the next 8 days with and ALL of them were Australian and not to mention 24 girls and 4 boys! This next week is definitely going to be interesting. Jess and I went to our room, had a travel sickness tablet and went to sleep (the travel sickness tablet knocked us out!) We woke up and we had set sail on the beautiful Adriatic. We headed for the small island Milna and stayed in Milna for the night. This night we had the most disgusting shot of Grapa? just before dinner (tradition or something) Jess and I found a bar which had free Wi-Fi and the best cocktails in the whole world!!! That night we had dinner with Nicole, Stephen, Kathryn, Dana and her husband?
Tonight was the night we learnt to drink beer... can you learn to drink beer? Well Jess and I had to ... Oktoberfest was coming up and we were not missing out on that! 
Thank you Coach Nicole and Stephen!


Sunday 10th July

We woke up this morning to a beautiful breakfast of eggs, toast, cereal, bread rolls, yoghurt and fruit. At 11am we stopped for a swim break… it was so refreshing to jump form the boat into the crystal clear Adriatic! So relaxing, Jess and I stayed in there for a couple of hours and then Lunch was served and we set sail for Hvar. For lunch we were given vegetable soup with bread (do not fill up on the bread - Amel) chicken and vegetables and for dessert cake! Delicious J Sunday night in Hvar felt like a Friday or Saturday back home! Bo took us out for dinner and then we headed to a bar right on the water you could literally go down the ladder and go swimming and it was PUMPING for a Sunday night. Everyone on the boat sat on the edge of the water got a free shot and we all had a cocktail together! I went to get another cocktail and as I was standing at the bar this fella asked me what I was doing. Turned out he worked at the bar. We had a Jaga Bomb together and 2 charity shots (not sure what these were) All I know is I wanted a t-shirt! He also bought me a Cocktail to wash it all down J Bo then took us to the next bar and I decided I would speak British to everyone who passed by… At this stage I wasn’t sure of what drinks I like so I decided to just stick with the safe option and had bulk Jaga Bombs! Bad Idea I got so sick and vomited everywhere after I went on a little adventure by myself, so Jess tells me!   

Because I suck at blogging and it has nearly been two years since out little Croatia Adventure the rest of the week went something like this...

 Monday 11th July

Woke up this morning with a massive Hangover heading to Korcula

Sailed to Dubrovnik – 2nd night out and this time I was the one looking after Jess... "Karmyn I can't see"
Also had the best chips and pizza of my life as well as a cocktail tower that will forever go down in history!
This is the day/night my love of Ketchup and Mayonnaise with chips began - THANK YOU EUROPE!
