Losinj:


Man, what a lazy afternoon, this is our third night in Croatia it sure is beautiful, but I have to say, its not quite Slovenia. It’s slightly lacking in great culinary experiences, and people are kind of grumpy.
Hi everybody!
When I left off last time our strange supervisor lady had just shown us into our room and then left disappearing into the night with our passports (and although she returned both of my parents passports she still has mine for some suspicious reason). We roamed around town trying to find somewhere to eat since all we’d had all day was a little granola and 1/3 of a doughnut so we were all starving. Unfortunately though by this time it was almost midnight and there were hardly any restaurant’s open, but by some miracle we happened upon a decent looking pizza place and I tell ya pizza never tasted so good. 

The past day and a half we’ve just spent being lazy, walking around the island, playing tennis, reading, writing and still trying to recover from jet lag. As I mentioned earlier, so far Croatia hasn’t quite lived up to its northern counter part: Slovenia. The people here a more brisk and short tempered and definitely don’t like to chat, quite the opposite of Slovenians who you couldn’t get to stop talking! Also, everything is super expensive here for some reason so we’ve been staying in and eating pasta almost every night since we left because restaurants are so expensive. But apart from that this really is a great place, and we’ve been lucky enough to have great weather so far! Tomorrow we have a 5-hour car ride and a ½ hour long ferry ride. Then (hopefully) we’ll end up in the small island town of Trogir, right outside the larger town of Split.  
Ill try and put up some more pictures later!
I hope you all are doing well!
