I'm coming home!!!!!!
I'm coming home tomorrow!!!!!!!! Well, today we went to a walk, but then my mom decided not to do it, so then we went straight to Ljubljana (you do know that Ljubljana is the Slovenian capital, of course you don't). Once we parked, we walked around and went over (almost) every bridge. Then we went to the market, there was food, but not what I was looking for (you do know that I was looking for the Slovenian national team soccer jersey, of course you do) Then we walked around town and my sister and my mom went into some (in there words) "cute" stores (no offense). Then we went to 2 different sports stores and I was able to choose one jersey which I really like. Then we went to go to our hotel, and right now, I am in my parents bed blogging. See (some of you) tomorrow!!!! And for the last time, Balkans, over and out.

Swimming, eating, hiking, and sleeping is what we do here
What a day it was!!!!!!!! First, we went to a bakery where I got a bread roll and Sarah got a loaf of bread. Then we drove to a very narrow and unstable bridge where my mom almost vomited. Then we drove go a different bridge that was even more unstable, and my mom also almost vomited again. Then we drove to a hike that was really beautiful and have bridges that (you guest it) my mom almost vomited (isn't that really "surprising"). There'd where also a few caves where my mom got creeped out because she thought that there were "bats and spiders" (Ohhhhhh, spooky) (no offense mom). Then, we went to a restaurant and got fries (yeah, there still popular half way across the world) and played hearts. Then, my dad made pasta and we had that for dinner, and then me, my dad and my sister went to get (in my words) on of the worlds best ice-creams. So now, I'm laying in my parents bed and blogging. Only 2/1 days until I see you!!!!! Slovenia, over and out.

Boy my legs are about to explode!!!!!
What a tiring day!!!! Well, some exciting news, when I woke up, I woke up squezed against the side of the bed because Sarah had rolled over so much that she pushed me to the wall and I woke up with her hand on my stomach, it was VERY freaky. Then, we went to Savica falls, which was quite nice (I know I sound like a very mature man, but believe me, I am not mature). Later we went to some random falls in some random town. The wLk was about 10 k but it felt longer. In the beginning of the walk, there were mini steams running through the middle of the path, so that made it even more beautiful. We got lost a few times with the forks in the road. Deeper into the path was a gorge, which was 'gorge'ous get it 'gorge'ous, but really, it was really cool because of how thin it was at times, it was so thin, that if you stretched your body out from one side to the other, you would make with room to spare. After that there was an area which Sarah called mountain goat climbing which was just a bumpier steeper path. Once we got to the falls, we found out that it wasn't really worth it because the 3 hour walk Was to only one waterfall which wasn't so cool. So after that, we walked another hour and a half back and drove back to the hotel. After that me and my dad went to go grocery shopping and to also get icecream that chocolate was extremely good, it competes for best chocolate on the trip. So as we say here, Caio!!!!!!

Less than a week!!!!
I can't believe that in less than a week I am going to see you all!!! well,on to the good stuff (not that isn't the good stuff). Today we went to a city called Rovinj, it was really pretty, and the ice-cream (should I say gelato) was outstanding!!! We walked around, we got grapes, peaches, and 2 containers of amazing raspberries, and Sarah got a pouch of Lavender or some other kind of smelly (good smelly) spice or weed. After that we went to the end of the peninsula, which had some huge waves that were much taller than me, so Sarah wore her floaty arm bands. then we drove back and now we are getting ready for dinner. I miss you so much!!! Mr. Awesome, over and out.

My Checklist
My checklist
O boy, what a fun (and painful) day!!!! First, I will tell you my day in a checklist fashion, then in regular fashion. wake up a 6 am, check, go to the worlds most beautiful place, check, go eat lunch , check, get a bee sting on my bottom lip, check, take a three hour drive, check, stay in a beautiful apartment, check, go swimming, check, and, finally, get a second bee sting on my palm, check, check, and check.
To start it off, we went to the worlds most beautiful place, which was (in my words, "breathtaking") outstanding because how clean the water was and you could see right through it, and there were these waterfalls, some where huge, and some where small. But just how peaceful it was made it even more pretty. After that, we went to a park to eat lunch, and there was a fair there. Once we sat down, we ate lunch, and then I got first bee sting of the day. I do not want to go into further detail . After that, we drove to the Istrean peninsula, and we are staying in a nice apartment. After that, I got my second sting, which I also don't want to start talking about. After that, we went swimming, and now we are eating in a nice restaurant. Croatia, over and out.

Hot, beautiful, just another day in paradise!!!!
What a day yesterday was!!! To start it off, we walkedd around town and got breakfast,then went to Diocleashan's palace. Then, we went to the bassements and looked at all the cool stuff. After that we went to the bell tower which me, my dad,and my bosy sister. At the top, we had one of the greasest view I've seen!!! After that we walked around the riva (the main strip) played hearts and ate French fries. It was a lot of fun (sorry, I forgot to mention that I got a Croatian soccer jersey that says Modric (you pronounce it as Modrich)) Later, we took siesta's. Later at night, we went to the same restaurant as before and got and did the egxact same thing.
Today, we drove out of Split and started to drive up to some waterfalls. Once we got there,we walked the trail and at the main waterfall(s) there was a swimming area, in the beginning,it was cold, but once I dunked, it was much more pleasant. After that we drove up to the place that we're staying in which has the worlds most beautiful waterfall(s) (by the way, it's from the websites that my mom surfed). Right now, we're in our apartment. So as we say here, Caio!!!

Where back!!!
We are now finally back in Croatia (and grandpa, there is no such person you speak of)!!! What a tiring day it was! We woke up and went to a bakery, I didn't like it there, so I got a better bread roll at a grocery store across the road. After that we looked around a church and then walked around the old city in Mostar, Bosnia. We went to a mosque and me my sister and my dad went up the minaret On the way down was the excitement.We got stuck behind a scared lady who was yelling at the top of her lunges every few seconds. It was nerve shocking. After that we hoped into the car and drove to some pools with waterfalls and swam there, it was really cool, but pleasant. The real shock of the day was when I got out of the car and found a wasp on the back of my foot, It was painful for only about 20 min. But it was very, very scary for me. After that we drove to Split and there we got ice-cream, I got chocolate and Sarah got snickers. Then my dad made pasta and now Sarah and my mom are playing steel the bundle (a grandpa Michael game). So bye for now!!!! I miss you!!!! Split, over and out.

Up the mountain (yesterday)
What a day! To start it off we hiked up a 1350 stair climb to a fortress on top of a hill. It took 2 hours. Next, we went to a beach called blue horizon, which was packed. After an hour it started to rain. We then had a picnic in the car for lunch. Me and Sarah did a blind test taste with the different cheeses daddy bought. After it stopped raining, mom and Sarah took a nap and me and daddy read books. By the way, the book I'm readiing is called zlata's diary. It is about a girl from Sarajevo during the war. I like this book because it puts the war in a different perspective. Even during the war, Zlata still had fun whether it was in her basement or at school.
After that we went to go get ice cream, we went to a cafe. We played hearts. Sarah won and daddy lost. It was a great day. Sarah will continue the story for today. Bosnia, over and out.

2 countries, 1 day
a day!! To start things off, we drove 2 1/2 hours to get to Montenegro.
The traffic in Croatia was great because there was no traffic at all, but in Montenegro, right after the border, the traffic was horrendous. It took us half a hour for what would have took 2 minutes without traffic. But after the Montenegro border control, it was much better.

Once we checked into our apartment (notice how I didn't say hotel, you know why, because it isn't) we walked around the old city, and it is magnificent place with all this great architecture and great history. After that we went to get ice-cream that was actually recommended in a book that my parents read and use as their guide for the trip like it's the guide to life. I got chocolate, Sarah got cookies, and my mom and my dad shared raspberry.
After that we went swimming and I got some really cool rocks for Sarah from underwater. Sarah will probably tell you more about that. And then we got dinner from a pizza place and watched a making of some movie or something like that. I think they just did it to mess with the people. It was kind of funny because the director had no idea what she was doing. So long for now!!!!!! Montenegro, over and out.
